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.

Whatever my views on what he did, war is ugly and ugly things happen.

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

Respect where it's due, my friend.

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.....

Honest? He lied in his first trial saying he thought the insurgent was already dead.

Think it's the new name for a back to front head transplant

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

What's a herrick?

code name for operations in Afghanistan from 2002 -2014

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.
