Probably come out at the inquest that the guy was on drugs and was not responsible for his action--there`s been a few US service men jailed lately for torture and killing of civilians--wonder if its been that they have been in close proximity of mates getting killed out there in Iraq/Afghanistan.

I`ve served with US Navy men at one time in my career and found them to be ok, cannot comment on their Army personnel though.

Quoting: Pamela Forbes

Unfortunately, Dave we have home-grown ’sickos’ spouting similar rubbish.

A CALLOUS SNP activist marred a Twitter discussion on the deaths of the six soldiers by calling British troops "childkillers" and "ignorant racists".

The SNP swiftly distanced themselves from Tommy Ball’s outburst and he quit the party in disgrace within hours.

Ball wrote on Twitter: "There’s no British soldier fighting for anything I believe in - bunch of child-killers."

His views sparked disgust but Ball insisted: "I won’t support an organisation which bayonets children."

And he claimed most British soldiers he had encountered were "racist, arrogant, under-educated thugs who join up for the thrill of killing humans".

Just in case anyone has the ’pleasure’ of meeting him this is what he looks like.......

Perhaps he needs to express his comments to a bunch of Infantrymen just returned from Afghanistan??
Or, to the families of those who have lost loved ones!
I think he would be in need of treatment by the NHS??

Afghan deaths

Perhaps the best thing to come out of this will be the urgent return of all our troops back to the UK - or is that wishful thinking?

We should never have been in Afghanistan in the first place!

After more than 10 years in Afghanistan, I really can’t see it having a particularly successful ending. No doubt we will leave and the politicians will claim it was all for a good cause, but the real test of whether or not we succeeded will be what happens to the Afghan government and the people at large once we have gone.

I give it a matter of days before Karzai and his corrupt Government split with the millions they have stashed away in Swiss bank accounts and it will be a matter of weeks before the Taliban carry on as normal,and mere months before the Taliban take over again.

just like the first Afghan/British war of 1839 or the second of 1878? You would think we learned from history, but we didn’t.
