no ive said all the way through the thread i dont defend what they did trying to offer explainations as to why people can and do behave in such ways.
its not just british soldiers that have commited gross act every country around the world has situations similar to this.
people have jumped on this and given no thought to how war can effect people on both sides and cause them to do things that outside of war would never happen

If thats the case then the people of iraq are right and just to fight against british and american troops right?

For what I know most of the troops want to go home!! If they dont want to be there they will start acting the way these soldiers did just out of frustration!

Reminds me of another recent event.
How are you comparing the two events then exactly?
This was just a brutal and uncivilised attack on a bunch of young kids,trying to make a point that foreign forces are not wanted or needed in their country!
How do you KNOW this to be the story? Have you got any proof? Does anyone actually know what the kids were doing? im mean, its ok for as all to assume they were 'protesting' or something, but maybe they werent... maybe they were just trying to provoke the british troops..... Id like to know the facts behind this whole situation, but to be honest the facts will differ from with source you draw them from....
I do argee tho that what ever the kids were doing the Armed forces should always maintain a professional stand... It unexceptable to beat a kid and in my view, its sick that the camera man laughed and cheered....
I find it very difficult to critisize the armed forces tho as we have no idea of how it is out there, again we only get the picture painted by that particular source.... Imagine if you went somewhere where you were told youre going to bring peace and order to suffering country and when you got there, it ended up that your best friend and brother got blown up by a suicide bomber.... Sad thing is, i bet a lot of teh soliders dont wanna be there, but teh reality of it is, we couldnt simply pull out now and leave the country in chaos... It would simply fall to the hands of another roofless dictator which would then leave this whole iraq conflict and waste of time... soemthing good had to come out of this, especailly as the 9/11 attacks look even less likely to have been carried out by terrorists.

i don't know whether they were just telling the troops to get out, or if they were trying to provoke them. i do know that petrol bombs, homemade grenades and bricks were used by the kids, could this mean they wanted to provoke or kill/injure the troops...?

I love the name of this thread:

British troops attacking iraqi children!
The "British troops" are little more than children themselves, thrown into a horribly pressure-filled situation and being told to heal the world. The title of this thread is misleading, it is trying to prtray the British army as mindless thugs, when those involved in the incident are in their teens, or barely out of their teens too.

just like to add, i am in know way justifying what the soldiers did ok, the "children" were actually in their late teens, young adults, nearly 20 or above... so children doesn't really work.

Meths I see what youre saying, but what if these werent isolated incidents? Its just one tape...
Would your mind change if lets say 10 more tapes like these are revealed?
