Thread Name: BS: 1,000 British Soldiers desert
Subject: RE: BS: 1,000 British Soldiers desert
At a recent anti war meeting in South Wales a very disturbed former serviceman on a hospital ship based off the Iraqi coast spoke in anguish about the terrible sights he had seen in the days and weeks following the invasion of Iraq.He saw Iraqi children with their limbs blown off by bombs brought on board to be treated .....he saw severe head wound cases and much ,much more. The serviceman was no more than about 23 and was obviously deeply traumatised by the horror that had been unleashed by Bush and his junior partner Blair.The young man is now very much opposed to the occupation of Iraq and wants those responsible brought to account in an international court of law.He is devastated by a war which he was party to.
Those who have deserted from their units and have refused to take part in an illegal occupation of a country are doing the right thing...put the warhawks in the dock....remember them...they never send their own kids to the war zone.
