[THE STIFFMEISTER 17,359]

Going to say something I've thought for a long time

 

And to people with service pasts they will get it

 

What was he doing there? He's a sergeant not the section commander

 

Why was he not stopped?

 

And why was he not immediately challenged?

 

I.e. Why didn't a full screw grab the c**t and throw him about? If he'd acted like that alongside the units I have the honour of serving alongside he'd have had full screws jumping on him instantly

 

I'll say it although I have no knowledge of him or his career but I truly believe Sgt Blackman is a wrong un and has pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone

 

To me, the other blokes look afraid of him and he obviously does what the f**k he wants , in my opinion he's an embarrassment to the marines

Interesting perspective from somebody who knows the job........I've never felt qualified to have a strong opinion on this subject tbh, like many, it would seem. Edited March 16, 2017 by Accip74

I don't really know how to feel about it.

 

I would always support our troops. I'm not sad that the rag head is dead...But...Iv spoken to 3 men who think he was in the wrong and deserved what he got. One is ex military police who served in difficult situations in NI. The other is a family member who was high ranking and served a long and distinguished career (his father fought in North Africa with the desert rats). The third is my brother who served in the army, foreign legion, navy and finally​the marines. All three of them know what it's like to be under serious pressure....All three think to laugh, shout 'who wants to see a war crime' and execute someone is wrong

he could have been sas material then, look at Blair mayne, he was unpredictable, ruthless and psychotic in and out off battle, but he was the most decorated soldier of ww2 and founder member of the sas. Was only ever happy in battle killing the enemy. That was by his friends in his units. What has happened to us in the uk is we have been softened by the government over the years prob to kill the possibility of uprising against the ruling elite.

Can't answer all your questions , but there are three sections in a troop , and a corporal is in charge of each section

A sergeant is in charge of the three section collectively , that why he was there

 

Shit happens and in war , and every thing that does , in not played by the book

I suppose the 6 milliary police men that were murderd by the taileban , a few years ago would be alive now if it had been the case

Two wrongs don't make a right , I hear people saying , and that would be true !

But if the taliban were coming up my street , with RPGs, and rifles , I know who I would want between them and my family

well from watching the program last, he shouldn't have shot him , but left him there as he would have died of his injuries anyway ,and moved the unit to carry on fighting the enemy . you can bet a pound to a penny, that if any british soldier was found wounded like he was, they have either but a bullet in him or torture him. i certainly wouldn't wasted valuable medical drugs on him etc , save them for my own men . there a old saying = out of site out of mind, they should have left him there, they must have encountered lot of dying enemy before , and left them to the crows to finish off . what came over to me was there soldiers doing a job, and they put there life on the line doing it true, but like they said on the program , do the job and try and get back to the unit alive and in one piece so trying to treat a dying enemy would have put them in more risk than need be . so looking at it logically and not from emotion , no he should not have killed a dying enemy , but as said just left him there and carried on engaging the enemy

[greg64 3,052]

there were a few other marines there that would have also quite happily put a bullet in him and I,m pretty sure he wouldn't have been the first one they have put out of there misery

Well there not

 

They are admin and Recce nothing more

 

A Sgt does not or should not command a cpl especially with a section

 

Full screws run the army , and the fact he was not checked or instantly reprimanded or at least smacked and his rifle taken away speaks volumes about him in my eyes

 

As for him being potential Hereford, lol , he'd be gone in secs few acting like that

What I'm trying to say is why on the video did no one say " what the f**k are you doing Alex?"

[greg64 3,052]

because I recon after watching that video that they have done it befoe

[THE STIFFMEISTER 17,359]

I'm not saying that, I'm saying that I believe he had some sort of elevated status to just do what the f**k he wanted, either through hero worship or fear he was clearly out with the command chain and was a loose canon , absolutely unacceptable from a snco
