where are you from edster

 

under a stone

 

No excuse no justification BUT remember the threat and danger these guys are under 24/7! Or lets think what would happen if shoe was on other foot as they say? Surely the iraqi soldiers would offer them tea and cake?? NOPE!

 

If the shoe was on the other foot? What, and britain had been invaded by Iraq? They soldiers are there because of lies, they killed millions of civilians and for what?

 

Have you any idea how much of a lacky you sound?


Keep fighting the good fight Eduardo

 

Good, looks like they were throwing rocks at them!

 

Exclusive Brutal & British

02/12/06 "News of the World" -- -- TODAY we expose a rogue squad of British soldiers who savagely attacked a defenceless bunch of Iraqi teenagers —and with 42 brutal blows brought shame on our nation and its proud army. The horrifying scenes on these pages will shock the world and ignite a huge military scandal.

They were captured on a secret home video — apparently filmed for "fun" by a corporal—and show at least eight of his hulking comrades cruelly:
DRAGGING four weedy rioters—all apparently in their early teens—off the street and behind the high walls of a secluded army compound,

BEATING them senseless with vicious blows from batons, boots and fists, IGNORING their pitiful pleas for mercy, until the incident climaxes with what appears to be an NCO delivering a sickening full-force kick in the genitals of a cringeing lad pinned to the ground.

All the while the callous cameraman delivers a stomach-churning commentary urging his mates on, cackling with laughter and screaming: "Oh yes! Oh yes! You're gonna get it. Yes, naughty little boys! You little f***ers, you little f***ers. DIE! Ha, ha!"

The video—later shown to the corporal's pals at their home base in Europe—was exposed to the News of the World by a disgusted whistleblower.

He told us the unit and regiment involved but for security reasons we are not publishing the details. Our informant said: "These Iraqis were just kids. Most haven't even got shoes on. "Those eight soldiers were pumped up and out of control. They're an insult to the thousands of soldiers who have worked so hard in Iraq with courage and dignity for so long.

"They're nothing but a gang of thugs, a disgrace to themselves, their regiment and country."
The beating sequence on the video, which appears to be a series of excerpts from the incident, takes up 60 seconds of the 3minute 12second tape. Our investigators counted 42 separate blows but there were probably many more not caught on camera.

The video also has two other shocking sequences. In one, the camera approaches an Iraqi corpse while a soldier draws back a blanket to display it as a sickening trophy. The cameraman then commits an act considered the ultimate insult to an Iraqi—and kicks the dead man twice in the face, humiliating him in death. As the head of the man, aged in his 20s, is lifted to face the lens a soldier sniggers: "He's been a bad mother****er."

Another scene shows an Iraqi man grabbed by three soldiers and forced to kneel behind a wall where he is kicked hard in the chest.

The video came to light following the unit's return home. Our source was horrified when he saw it and vowed the tape MUST be made public to force the army to clamp down on the abuse of prisoners—and protect the reputations of more than 80,000 dedicated British troops—including 101 killed and 230 injured—who have served in Iraq since the start of the second Gulf war.

He told us: "I'm sure those Iraqis weren't innocent little boys—I bet they'd all been slinging rocks and maybe even explosives. But that's no excuse for a beating like that.

"The ringleader was supposed to be a senior sergeant. Instead of reeling the lads in and calming them down, he was in the thick of it, urging them on. He even kicked that boy straight in the b***s with two other soldiers twice the lad's size holding him face down.

"That's sick. You could understand some terrified 19-year-old private losing it. But that's what NCOs are for—to lead and set an example."

Last night we handed our dossier of evidence to the Ministry of Defence. A Military Police investigation is now under way.

There we have it, "another soldier" grassed them up, I would suggest he is more typical of your average squaddie.

This took place in 2004 and was first reported in 2006 apparently so it's old news, what punishment (if any) did the men involved receive? I have no idea.

 

Are you saying the British Army has TOUTS ?

 

No honour I tells you.

 

Nothing like a good current affairs news story

 

Oh I love a topical debate.

 

That's very mild - I would have shot the ****s and not bothered dirtying my boots on them.

 

This

 

thanks for clearing that up , i didnt want to have bens solicitor chasing me down

 

You misunderstand me Dev. What I meant was this is nothing like a topical news story

 

I hate all this "Grass" and "nonce" ****e. If someone is up to no good or doing something he should not be then if someone informs on him he can have no complaints. I personlly have never posted sectarian stuff or anything which would get me in trouble so I have no worries about someone dobbing me in it.

Some have, they made that choice.

 

its all **** Dev , they could phone my boss if they like he'll just say **** off and hang up. joys of being on building sites if youre not a bit ****ed up youve no place on them a bit like GC
