Please stop referring to personnel as" Royal Marines" ; yes, they are IN the Royal Marines ,but they are only "Marines" . I was in the Royal Navy , but I wasn't a "Royal Sailor" , nor was my late , ex-Royal Air Force father a "Royal Airman".
                              Meanwhile ,think about this ; for many years now ,under International Law , anti-personnel mines have been proscribed , and nobody , especially members of the British Armed Forces ,is /are allowed to use or deploy them. The Taliban , however ,and other terrorist organisations , don't hesitate to use these dreadful , despicable , Improvised Explosive Devices ( yes, Anti-Personnel mines )that blow mens' legs ,arms and balls off , so I have every sympathy for members of our Armed Forces if they are sometimes less than kind and charitable towards their captives on occasion .
