I'm still amazed at the UK's determination to stick with us, however.

Soldiers live in a world of strict rules, and strict punishments. Did this soldier act as though he was taught to act? I believe so. Was he taught to act appropriately when dealing with this sort of situation, given the volatile nature of the society? No. You send soldiers to kill people. You can even send soldiers to keep the peace. However, don't send them when diplomacy is a large issue. Doesn't the military have MPs over there that can deal with the punishment of criminal offenses? If not, they should. |
