The soldiers involved in the Iraq brutality may have been thrown out of the Army, this certainly wasn`t the case when Peter McBride an 18 year old Belfastman was shot in the back by two Scots Guards.
McBride was stopped by the two soldiers James Fisher and Mark Wright, after being body searched he was allowed to go, McBride hurried away too fast for the trigger happy soldiers who shot and killed him.
Both soldiers were surprisingly found guilty of murder, after their trial in 1995, they were given life sentences, but in 1995 were released from prison, all of this time they were still in the army, despite protests and pleas from the McBride family, both men returned to their regiment.
