Murderers of Belfast teenager Peter McBride to stay on, says MOD, despite court ruling In a shock revelation today, British Armed Force Minister Adam Ingram announced that the Ministry of Defence has stood by the decision of an Army Board that convicted murderers Mark Wright and James Fisher should remain in the army. In addition to this it was revealed that James Fisher has been promoted to lance-corporal. The decision flies in the face of a Belfast court of Appeal Ruling that the "exceptional circumstances" cited by the Army Board for retaining the two, did not, in fact, constitute exceptional circumstances under Army rules. The decision has left many commentators, including the Human Rights community and the Independent Assessor on Military Complaints, incredulous. |

an army keeps 2 murders in its ranks.

is stationed in Ireland to assist the crown forces in peace operations and as such is supposed to be subject to British and international Law.
It is not in Ireland to shoot kids in the back.
If the British Army had been stationed in Ireland to fight the Irish, subjegate them and systematically break their bollox, then the Daily Mail agenda would be understandable.
But we of the Left generally prefer the Guardian version that really they are just poor hapless kids from the north of England with few employment prospects and they really don't want to break the Irish bollox @ all.
So are they murderers with license? If so then they are in Ireland as an invasion/occupation force. If not, then when they murder and it is not in self-defence they are quite simply murderers. It is generally thought that "good" soldiers and military types know the value of discipline and not firing their guns and at anyone.

It's not surprising. The ultimate purpose of soldiers is to murder, so why are we surprised?

Why indeed are we surprised that the British army shoots dead an unarmed civillian in the back on a north belfast inner city street in broad daylight. Why are we surprised?
I suppose it is a natural occurence everyday in dublin, or on the streets of manchester, british army soldiers just opening up and shooting dead civillians in the back.
Why are we surprised?, I'm sure you and tinpot totalitarian tony blur would like it to be a normal everyday, not out of the ordinary occurence elsewhere in Ireland and britain.
I too would like such occurences to be common place on the streets of cities in England and london. Then Tony and his military war pigs would really have a civil war on their hands.
