And no incentive at all for some of these stories to be fabricated?

Yes. Making the "invading/occupying forces" look bad.

Yes. Making the "invading/occupying forces" look bad.

You don't think that the revelations about the torture of Iraqi's by US troops, makes it entirely possible that elements in the British Army where at the same thing?

Yes. Making the "invading/occupying forces" look bad.

I think they managed that all on their own. Being "invading/occupying forces" and all.
Therefore no incentive to state the bleeding obvious.

And I did ask for an incentive you are aware of. Not something you just make up.

[Fing Fers]

Yes. Making the "invading/occupying forces" look bad.

All this nonsense is to be expected, It always seems to be in relation to the British Army on this forum. Are the British Army the only one's in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc? Maybe I am wrong but I heard a roomer that the US, Canadian and German forces and some others, also located in Iraq and Pakistan etc.

I also heard a roomer of Iraq's publicly stoning innocent Iraq civilians to death and this is deemed acceptable by Iraq's authority's, hardly?

One thing to mention, their may have been some "humiliation" tactics on the captured Iraq's by British/US troops.

What about the British/US troops, construction workers and reporters captured by Iraq's? There form of "humiliation" comes in the form of beheading, violent torture, burnt to death and their corpse's beaten to a pulp.

Yes Iraq war is a war against a harmless innocent country.

I just watched a video on BBC news of a British soldier screaming at hooded men forced to stand in stress positions against a wall. It was striking that this is just what they used to do to Irish prisoners.
One of the men in the video was kicked to death a few minutes later.

Oh I'm not saying that none of it is true, but simply not to believe everything and do so without any proof.

I don't know why I bothered to be honest. I don't know why I bother with this site at all anymore for that matter, it's gone to sh*te.

Corporal Donald Payne became the first member of the British armed forces to be convicted of a war crime when he pleaded guilty at a court martial in September 2006 to inhumanely treating civilians. He was dismissed from the army and sentenced to one year in a civilian jail.
At the ongoing public inquiry into Mousa's death, a former British soldier admitted for the first time that he saw Payne and Private Aaron Cooper kicking and hitting the Iraqi shortly before he died. Garry Reader told a hearing on Monday how he had tried to resuscitate Mousa.

I think this is the story. One year in prison! Still it seems he may be prepared to start naming names.
No doubt cookie will invent an incentive to try to cloud the issue.
