Royal Marine Alexander Blackman

I think this guy fucked himself cause on camera he also said "it's time to shuffle of this mortal coil" which went down like a sack of shit tbf.

But in a warfare environment there should be limitations to acts.

Ex. He killed an enemy combatant, under the circumstances the guy should of been taken prisoner it was possible - disciplinary

But that US bloke who raped and murdered a bunch of Afghani women lock him up throw away the key clearly something wrong in his head
Yeah that's the first time I've heard that and it ain't good if true

Sounds like the silly fucker thought he was the star of an 80's action movie

If he's dropping lines like that it's hard to claim the pressure of the situation got to him and he's snapped. It's as if he thought "how can I look like an absolute legend in front of the lads?"
 
He blatantly slotted the guy seen the video and heard the footage, so broke the law, if the video had got into wrong hands they could have used that for propaganda so government had no choice but to make an example, But i agree that video should have got lost, and if the military had sent a convoy in to rescue the injured fighter no doubt it would have been attacked costing a few British soldiers lifes as was in a dangerous part of the country. So yes he broke the law but really didnt have a good alternative chances are the guy would have died anyway he got hit by an apache gun ship lol. Should have been handled differently and glad hes getting out.
 
The way I see it is like this...

This man killed a man that was gunna die a painful death anyway, he put him out of his misery, yes maybe he should of given him a reassuring cuddle before hand but seeing as he was under great stress and atrocities had been carried out against fellow serving soldiers we shall forgive him this oversight.

He never made out the man was carrying wmd's but the cunt was clearly out to harm our boys which everyone agrees on.

Lock him up???? Fuck off, man was doing his duty at the behest of politicians who have done far worse and get to skip off into the sunset to earn millions .

Fucking disgusting to treat a soldier in our forces this way. He should of been helped not thrown to the wolves .

We need to sort our fucking priorities out
 
I bet the bloke who kept the video got beasted by the lads at his unit

This could all have been avoided if he'd done the smart thing and deleted that file

And fucking right too. None of this should of come out. Even if the brass got wind of it it should of been gotten rid of.

Fella has been hung out to dry.

They must love our weakness tbh
 
For me personally the jury is out on this one. I am undecided.

My dad served in both gulf wars and falklands, so come from a military family.

However, the excuse of believing the guy was dead seems a very clever loophole a good lawyer has exploited.

Saying that, on the other hand the way that our citizens/soldiers have been beheaded, tortured and mal treated makes me think why shouldn't he just have shot the guy.

Tuts the thing isn't it though? Is behaving ina. Different manor what separates us from them? Shouldn't we strive to rise above it and stand by the law and rules of engagement?

That said, and never being in that situation I must stress, but having friends who have been and hearing their stories, would I have done the same thing? Fuck yes I would, and given the chance I'd do worse.
