    Look closely at what?

    And if Stein didn't know why do you lot say he did?

    It's comical how these scumbags scream murdering bastards at these soldiers whilst showing support for the IRA

    perhaps it would be more prudent to scream murdering bastards at them and not support the IRA then.

    I didn't say Stein did know.

    Perhaps he did, perhaps he didn't.

    I think some Rangers fans say that because they suspect that he did know.

    Not really. If you support the IRA then the killings are legitimate. If you don't support the British soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan then they're murdering bastards.

    It just depends on your point of view.

    depends really. if someone shouts about the IRA they might or might not mean the terror group who took on the same name? I know certain songs were around before the terror group was even thought of.

    Were the British the only troops out there?

    I could have sworn that there was about 50+ countries that sent troops there.

    Do you think planting a bomb on a busy Saturday afternoon is the same as a bunch of troops killing a family by accident with a drone?

    Military police are investigating allegations of child abuse by two British soldiers in Afghanistan, it has emerged. The troops from the Mercian Battle Group have reportedly been arrested over claims they abused an Afghan boy and girl aged about 10.

    They are said to have filmed the separate incidents and shown them to colleagues on their laptops, according to The Sun newspaper. Several laptops have apparently been seized and their contents looked at by a team of military police assigned to the inquiry.


    It is believed to be the first time allegations of abusing children have been levelled against British troops in either Afghanistan or Iraq. The Military of Defence confirmed the Royal Military Police was investigating.


    A spokesman said: "We are aware that an allegation has been made concerning alleged inappropriate behaviour by two servicemen in Afghanistan. "The Royal Military Police (Special Investigations Branch) has launched an investigation into this. We take any such allegation extremely seriously.


    "It would be inappropriate to comment further while an investigation is ongoing."

    http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16151397


    Several things are worthy of note, firstly these are “allegations” so the accused are innocent until proven guilty same as anyone else. Secondly it appears they were turned in to the RMPs by colleagues who were horrified with what they allegedly saw. As I stated earlier I would be more concerned if there had been any suggestion of a cover up, there are no accusations of anyone trying to excuse their behaviour by ignoring it so perhaps this shows that the military are far more intolerant of alleged disgusting behaviour than many other organisations.

    The RMPs take an such accusations “extremely seriously” so there will be no whitewash if they are indeed guilty, likewise if they are found guilty they can expect a hard time when they get jailed in a military prison, which you can rest assured is a far more horrendous place to do time than some cushy civilian nick, their lives will be hell and they will be dishonourably discharged.

    All in all they will be punished far more severely than a civilian who had been found guilty of similar offences, I think that’s the important thing.

    I don't know why i'm wasting my time in all honesty because you have made a **** of yourself with this pathetic piece of point scoring

    Don't even engage in the whitabooting here, man.

    Folk like Medro have the brass neck to view the world thus:

    Any mention of IRA = the guys who bombed the UK
    Any slagging of any one of the list of British Military Atrocities throughout history = slander against our brave heroes that died for your freedoms


    Now, Medro, THAT is hypocrisy.

    Like the old IRA that killed and drove thousands of Protestants from their homes in the Irish Republic.

    Don't be pedantic.

    First of all, if you know anything about me it's that I'm no IRA lover. I just used that as an example because you brought it up.

    And what has other countries got to do with it? Were they parading around the stadium?

    Finally, there have been thousands of innocent men, women and children killed in Iraq and Afghanistan due to the actions of the Allied forces. See when you're parading soldiers around Ibrox in a wave of jingoistic nonsense does it ever cross your mind that one, two maybe more of those soldiers are responsible for the deaths of innocent people?

    Sorry but I can't see the IRA as heroes or freedom fighters.

    Look at the disappeared, anyone that crossed their path catholic or Protestant got brutally executed and buried in a ditch, including a mother of 10 I think it was.

    Then they deny it for years, only to finally say 'Oh yeah, that was us, but we won't tell you were the bodies are.'

    Brave men indeed.

    No, the old IRA who fought a foreign tyrant occupying their country.

    The same men the queen laid a wreath for on her visit to Ireland.

    My point is that the issue seems to be with the British army, yet nothing is said about the other nations troops.

    Do you honestly believe that some ned bastard from a scheme actually gives 2 ****s about Iraq civilians being killed?

    Seriously?

    Really, I didn't have to SHOUT to bring attention to myself

    Should all alleged crimes be taboo until we have a verdict...?

    ALLEGEDLY these servicemen thought nothing of showing these crimes to other members of their regiment

    ALLEGEDLY several laptops were recovered

    I'm concerned this shows that the "scum of the earth" actually deserve that name ALLEGEDLY

    ALLEGEDLY these two servicemen believe other members of their unit would like this

    Worrying ALLEGEDLY
