The thing is he has admitted he fukced up did wrong shouldn't have done it ... he hasn't tried to justify what he did hasn't tried to excuse himself ... but he was on his 6th yes 6th tour of Afghanist

Sentence reduced to 7 years for manslaughter so will be freed within 2 weeks ..........

And you'd never stand in front of an enemy force on a battle field either would you ......

I wonder if our ever so political correct powers to be ever thought of bringing charges against the Argentines who shot our boys from under the white flag?

 

Or maybe they just select what ever parts of the Geneva convention suits them at the time eh.

Geneva convention should only apply if both sides are signed up to it

Isn't the Geneva Convention what sets the minimum standard for professionalism, and is why we're better than them?

Not being penickity socks but Sgt Blackman did herrick 5 , herrick 9 , possibly 7 and the incident occurred in herrick 14

 

So 3 / 4 herricks

 

That source is impeachable , didn't do 6

 

Splitting hairs really but it's done, hell get out and if I'm honest I'd be very suprised if he's allowed to soldier on, or in fact would want to

 

And yes Chris my friend , I like that when I'm putting on a maroon lid with full screw tapes every morning, I'm a bit better than a daesh convert , wondering what my latest ak 47 instagram post will be

There used to be a saying in a creed held and adhered to by some of the most vicous hardbitten soldiers ever to grace a battlefield

 

"Against an open foe , fight with chivalry, against the guerilla show no compassion"

 

They were called the fallschrimjaeger

 

See how that turned out.....

Would our soldiers have won in WW2 with one hand tied behind their back....No

 

Have we beat the current enemy..... No

 

Who would want to join the forces these days when you could end up being done for hurting their feelings

That article may have it wrong and I didn't say anything when socks mentioned it earlier but I'm pretty sure he didn't do 6 stints I afghan as Stiffs has pointed out now. From memory he did 6 tours of Iraq and Afghanistan together, Telic and Herrick.

 

Edit; 5 tours, Telics 1, 5 & 7 and Herrick 7 & 14.
