Can't wait for the Tommy Robinson crowd to riot. Their protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers are all about supporting kids, right? –Oliver via Instagram Strange… you don't get Reform UK-inspired thugs congregating around army barracks and rioting… don't they care? –Peter via Facebook I wonder where the 'deport now' brigade will be on this one? –Darren via Instagram Once you remove society's biggest taboo, 'thou shalt not kill', any other taboos must seem small potatoes in the world of militaries. Abuse and torture of all kinds, like the US Army carried out in Abu Ghraib during the Iraq war, is possible because military training strips people down to their most barbaric level, so that they will unquestioningly kill when called upon. It's a big gang, and gang loyalty and behaviours are therefore to be expected. We need a better idea than war. –Lilian via Facebook Is there a punishment for the troops or is it like the Catholic Church, and they just send them to a different war zone? –Manu via Facebook |
