rooster59 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Inquiry: UK soldiers who fought in Iraq may face prosecutionLONDON (AP) — The head of an official British investigation into alleged abuses during the Iraq War says that U.K. soldiers may face prosecution for crimes including murder.Mark Warwick said the inquiry is probing "lots of significant cases" and officials will discuss whether they meet the war crimes threshold.British forces withdrew from Iraq in 2009. Lawyers are still referring cases to the British government-established criminal probe into murder, abuse and torture claims linked to the six-year military mission.The inquiry has considered at least 1,515 possible victims, including 280 who were allegedly unlawfully killed.The probe is not due to finish its work until the end of 2019. -- (c) Associated Press 2016-01-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Of course murder should be investigated, and if found guilty, every single criminal should be sentenced to the full degree of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1012 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I don't believe this. If this is true then we, the weak lilly livered British deserve everything we get. We send our soldiers to fight in the desert against a bunch of people that have no interest in human rights, Geneva conventions etc, and expect them to behave as if they were on duty on the streets of the UK. They were at WAR, people get killed. Anyone who thinks that the rules of a western democracy, politically correct BS, can be applied in a battlefield situation is absolutely deranged and should be treated with total contempt.This enquiry should be terminated immediately and the efforts of the people involved should be applied to prosecuting those people in our own society who wish to destroy our civilisation, not those that are protecting our civilisation. I hope that someone can find a list of the names of the people involved so that thay can be publically ostracized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are entitled to your opinion, and I must agree that criminals that prey on our peaceful British civilian society MUST be punished, even if they are followers of that odd cult of Islam. But to hold an enquiry into so called 'war crimes' allegedly perpertuated by members of one of the best professional armies in the world?They were in a battlefield situation and under a great deal of stress,and acted according to the situation as they saw it. Second guessing by chairborn PC tossers after the fact is stupid. These people are the ones who die so that YOU and I can sit at our keyboards and comment. My friend Pondgelding would agree with me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungod Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Whats a disgrace is that we send our boys off to fight 'to help' foreign countries, in return Europe gets a million immigrants, most who are actually men (leaving the women and children behind no doubt) who are able bodied and of a military age.

Just one more of the many reasons why you would have to be mental to want to join the army these days in my opinion...

No - it's a disgrace self righteous never do anythings try to undermine the military that lay their lives on the line to protect the armchair knowalls. You are quick to jump to the conclusion that the British army has lots of murderers and criminals. No doubt Daesh, AQ, Taliban, IRA, INLA, are all just freedom loving boy scouts standing up for their rights in your eyes. Why not nip over and discuss it with them? You'll get a warm welcome.

This is more a politically motivated witch hunt trying to appease all those lovely British and European politicians who want to pretend we are the nasty element in fighting a despicable, fanatical and barbaric terrorists who want to impose their culture, religion and laws on us; or execute us all.

The Mai Lai massacre was OK? Abu Graib was OK? A somewhat unequal comparison. Should the individual air crews, ground crews, and admin staff have all been charged with the terror bombing campaigns initiated by Germany in both world wars? The certainly and knowingly targeted civilians as official policy. Massacres of unarmed civilians is unacceptable and those committing such acts deserve to be brought to justice. But let's not turn it into a political self beating session and accept everything as face value because it suits some agendas shall we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously never served your country in the armed forces, let alone been on active service. If you had you'd know that civilian law can't be applied to an active duty situation. Combat doesn't encourage rational decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hey seamare have you ever been in combat for your country? I'll assume that was a childish barb at me, changing my name like that. I reply to it only to emphasise your childishness. What has my combat history got to do with holding an opinion that any soldier who deliberately kills a civilian should face justice. You guys make it sound like all soldiers have a license to kill whoever they want. Guess what? They don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
