Makem, just a serious question. As a member (ex?) of an elite force I would like to hear your opinion. Now I'm not weighing in on one side or another on this, the rights and wrongs are not what bothers me, but, here in Australia we currently have a case of some of our SAS personnel being investigated for alledged (see what I did there?) shooting of prisoners in Afghanistan. We have seen, and heard, via their body cameras just what happened. Now, my question is, why the hell do you think that anyone would deliberately shoot someone when they must know that they are wearing body a camera and a recording device? I have only the highest regard for our troops who, I believe, do a good job, as indeed I had for British troops when I lived there. But what kind of mentality causes someone to simply lose it like this? It's pretty serious charge and, understandabley, causing big waves in our defence department.



PS Have to agree with you on the Corbyn thing. Absolute twat. How the hell did the labour Party ever think they could win with him?
 
pretty good but had a lot of new recruits due to the mods on RTB, unfortunately it brought a lot of really far left ****ers that give out vicious vitriol if they hear any comments in favor of the gov, a lot spoil nearly every thread with attacks on the government, asking them to go on the politics thread is a waste of time.
A bit like here so.:grin:

Unless you've been in a war situation, seen your mates and comrades blown up, shot or worse, been killed, I doubt anyone on here can really understand what is going on in soldiers heads. Some I presume react differently. I've never ever been in that situation Mackem, I'm only going on what I've been told by a few lads that have been through it. Maybe you could explain to us, seeing that you've had that horrible experience. Apologies if I'm out of order for asking.<ok>

sorry mate im blasting a leftie now going on about Boris


whilst i respect your views , i don't agree with them, i would suggest that the majority of the Country feel the same way as i do, considering the stark choice we had between commie Corbyn or Boris, most chose Boris in fact the worst Labour defeat in 80 years,and swaths of former loyal labour heartland turned against them, who would give the keys of the door to that commie sympathizer. This prime minister has the hardest job since Churchill, he not only has the pandemic but Brexit as well, he is bound to make decisions a lot of people don't agree with it is human nature after all, we all love Sunderland but every thread has contributors with different ideas and theories to the next guy.you cant please all of the people all of the time, but it doesn't help when nearly every thread goes off track by someone trying to have a dig at the government.and i guess that's what i'm getting at keep politics on a politics thread, and let the them argue till there hearts content,if they can find anyone to argue with, i for one am sick of the sniping, if they think they can do better let them run for an MP position. wish they would i'm due a good laugh
