A sharper approach surely is to leave the wounded man, hide, wait for whoever comes for him, then deal with them as well.

I can't help wondering if there is more to this, maybe the man who did it has a bad rep and the footage finding it's way to authority is no accident, we can never know, personally I don't like it as I've said elsewhere, but how can we possibly know what went on sitting behind a keyboard.

I still stand by remark, those who sent them out there in the first place should be judged alongside any we decide to accuse.

Teach and pay a man to kill for you in the first place is one thing, deciding when where and how he does it in the face of enemy action is entirely another.

[i]Bad things happen in wars, that's why they are best avoided unless absolutely necessary.

On balance, I would say no cameras [/i]

This is the precise reason why I would say cameras on everyone. War is a terrible and awful thing to live through. I have no experience of being there but it looks absolutely shitty beyond belief.

It's very easy to agree that a war is necessary and even acceptable that a nation can democratically agree to go to war but show people just how absolutely mind-bogglingly appalling it is might actually make people start thinking about war and conflict in a different way.

People like Parksie go and fight in places because it's easy for us to send them off and hope they'll sort the problem out but that's like brushing a big shit under the carpet and it absolutely needs to be made real to the people sending them off there so they can STOP ****ING DOING IT!!!!
