Are these the monsters we have decided to support in their fight against the Syrian government?

These are the type of people who our own soldiers have been forced to face in Afghanistan, and yet we convict one of our soldiers of murder for killing someone who would not have thought twice of committing such a barbarous act upon him as was carried out here.

/// AOG , are you advocating that we should adopt the same policy as those who fight against us do ? ///

No of course not and well you know it.

I was just making a point of the type of savages that our troops are facing daily, all with one hand tied behind their backs, when they constantly witness such acts that were last carried out in this country in the 16th century, doesn't that go a long way into trying to understand how it might effect one in many thousands of our armed forces.

/// Hague and his rhetoric what a joke.The UK are as guilty as any other nation of cruelty. ///

Spoken as a true patriot, I don't think.

How many beheading have taken place in the UK recently, are yes there was one but the monster who allegedly carried that out wasn't of true British stock now was he?

AOG, I did wonder where your argument was leading. You said "yet we convict one of our own soldiers of murder...", which does tend to suggest we shouldn't have, in your opinion. If you agree that he should have been, then any mitigation, such as you hint at, will be taken into account in sentencing. And , If his mental state was such as to amount to a temporary disorder of the mind, he would not have been convicted of murder in the first place

I understand allied forces occasionally kill innocent people too. Or could I be imagining that?

Don't you understand anything sp, or is it just the points made by me? because I seem to spend much of my time constantly explaining all manner of things to you, whereas others seem to be quite capable of working things out for themselves.

sp1814 is the only one polite enough to ask you to explain your gnomic phrases rather than just ignoring them

[Baldric]

sp, I think that ^^^ means he can'texplain it.

[Brenden]

In plain words sp the Geneva convention, which only half the world abides by - would you call that a level playing field, and please do not tell me that we are more civilised than them when our troops witness their buddies hanging from trees mutilated beyond recognition -

/// Ah yes AOG but the instant beheading in Britain was only afforded to the elite of noble birth while the rest of us suffered slowly at the hands of the hangman or the stake burner ///

Bl**dy hell Steve how far do you want to go back, we are now in the 21st century, anyone you know who has been burned at the stake or hanged recently?

[FredPuli43]

The soldier was of true British stock, but no monster.

AOG , do you think that this man should not have been convicted of murder? Do you think that no charge of murder, or any offence, should have been brought immediately consequent upon the killing?

A Barbaric practice, but it's one less
