Subject: RE: BS: Video of British Soldiers in Iraq
Sweeney, you said

I am not having a pop here at the British army, if it was the army of any other country I would be as vocal.

The video shows a lapse in discipline. Shameful.
How did PIRA treat it's prisoners Sweeney? It was disgraceful how those young Arabs were treated, but not life threatening or crippling.
Any of your prisoners would have gladly changed places with them.

The bursting grenade is shown on a sequence clearly shot just before the rest of the piece. Any other army would have returned fire. The US army in Iraq has done so frequently with less provocation.

The British squadies went out without guns! Again, what other army shows such restraint?
