Is it kicking off big time or is this just everyday stuff they deal with or a bit of both?

Anyone who thinks it's OK to constantly chase former soldiers for supposed "war crimes" isn't decent.

In fact they're cunts of the highest calibre.

So you don't think people should be punished for war crimes? Fuck me.

That surprises you after his defence of the ethnic cleansing crew?

Some dude from Unicef on sky news here now.

It really is awful 😖 

Yet more ignorance on show.

Maybe check the news and ongoing events.

Of course ignorance typically leads accusations.

So I'll lay it out for you.

A number of former soldiers have been pursued for decades for alleged offences in Northern Ireland. 

Despite no evidence, and no charges, they're are repeatedly subject to investigation. 

Starmer will not stop it. A gravy train for lawyers.

Try listening to the stories of those affected.

No doubt you wont.

Moreover, following the good Friday agreement, known terrorists were released. Distasteful yes, but perhaps necessary. 

Yet a certain group of mps chose to apply a wholly different approach to our own.

Two individuals with the greatest level of criticism of others' intellect being fucking thick. Again.

Yawn

So basically, you're saying British Soldiers should get away with war crimes because they're British.

I can categorically state ,some soldiers who served in Northern Ireland were guilty of behaviour that could be found as a crime whilst in the pursuit of their duty. There is plenty of evidence.Vast majority didnt and were in a difficult position, it’s for those ones , the ones that just did their tour , the ones that potentially committed crimes should be investigated for as much as the victims , anybody who supports the reputation of the army should want it too as it tarnishes the whole lot if it’s its seen as a whitewash
 

to say otherwise is what is ignorant of the facts 

to blindly support someone just because they were in the British army is naive at best .  

this isn’t anti army or anything political , I get the “ terrorists released “ argument to an extent but the fact is , they were found guilty , served whatever sentence before being cut short,rightly or wrongly  some members of the armed forces behaved in a way not fit of the reputation during the troubles and have yet to be held to account . 
I’m not talking about situations where say a soldier felt threatened and reacted in wrong way in hindsight ,or even mistakes , they shouldn’t be punished , as I say they were in a difficult hell hole at times,   I’m talking deliberate acts with severe consequences that some engaged in .

We must be indecent pal. I agree with you.

Some of the whiners wouldn't be able to live the lives they do without some of the things our military heroes have had to accomplish.

No. Because they weren’t murdered by British soldiers, but you know that . 
it’s not top trumps of crimes mate , whataboutery at its finest that. 
 

 

Was reading about the black and tans the other week.

Heavy those boys.

Lots of references to War Crimes and discussion had with ex Marines when they were after Marine A. Do people think the authors of the Geneva Convention in 1949 had even imagined the types of conflict where kids were laying IED’s?

The irony of this post coming from someone who had no idea that Israel had a plan to take Gaza for themselves & displace the population into neighbouring countries. 

Didn’t take long for Zico to show you the quotes from Israel’s leader & other ministers proving you wrong.

 Yet it’s everyone else who is ignorant & needs to check the news 🙄

They beat him - and then prevented paramedics treating him when he could have been saved from what the BBC are reporting. 

Bastards should be lynched.
