So I now see some support for soldiers involved in the Iraq war, the legal money making machine still intends to pursue soldiers whatever, even one who has been cleared not once but twice for an alleged abuse of Iraqis. Most if not all of our soldiers act in a responsible way, but as I have said war conditions makes men react differently, it might be in law wrong but what law is on a battle field??, non, eye for an eye tooth for a tooth seems to ring a bell, a unit of soldiers are a close knit family, on patrol together, eat together, fight together and lastly die together, just what effect does this have on a mans life, his understanding of life and death, enemy behaviour to their mates can have a massive effect on the way the squad will behave in a battle situation, if they capture one of the enemy there is no way that the law will be effected, you have captured an enemy, how do you react??, this is a man who was and still wants to kill you and your mates, you certainly would not be to worried about the treatment that he might receive, you just might think there but the grace of God go I, but it has to be remembered you as a British soldier can only expect to be executed as a prisoner, no reason given, so when we all understand the pressure these men are under when in action, without experiencing it you do not have the slightest idea.
