Royal Marines Murder Injuurd Afgan Prisoner in Cold Blood

Anti-War Campagner | 24.10.2013 13:27 | Anti-militarism

Headlines from today's newspaper about atrocities in Afganistan.

Even the mainstream press are now balking at the hypocrisy of the Western Imperial War Machine.
Royal Marines in Afganistan were reportedly discussing amongst themselves the best place to shoot an injured prisoner in order to avoid detection of cold blooded murder. This directly contravenes almost every international convention on the rights of prisoners taken in battle.
Once and for all the West must start to take responsibility for it's own abuses and the abuses of it's lackeys who accept the 'king's shilling' and earn their wages by killing and torturing as a way of passing their time.

Doesnt surprise me at all

To all the pro-military brainwashed masses reading this:

Next time you buy some shitty Help The Heroes merchandise, put some cash in a collection box or buy a poppy, you are glorifying and supporting these people after they have done their 'tour'. Most have done evil shit under the guise of just following orders.

Also, lose a limb whilst riding on the imperial war machine? You signed up. Stop whinging. Statistically you killed and maimed more civilians *sorry* collateral. Perhaps you should be taken by the 'enemy' and found a good place to be shot so it doesn't look like a murder.

Wars For Land And Resources

24.10.2013 15:27


The scum of society joins the armed forces to do the dirty work for their lords and masters. This has been going on for centuries... for example, the Zulu wars in South Africa, where thousands of idiots were maimed or died for the queen's measly shilling.

Oh yes, they eventually got their hands on the gold and diamond mines and mining companies like De Beers was set up to syphon off South Africas wealth... of course, the queen got a nice share of the pie. The queen is also 'commander-in-chief' of British Armed Forces... they cannot move without her permission.

While members of the establishment enjoyed the plunder, the wives and families of the dead or severely injured soldiers were left on the streets to beg or prostitute themselves.

Yeah, it's a 'Socialist Welfare State' LOL [If you are an aristocrat, banker or corporate CEO]

See you on the flip side!

The Banks DID Finance ALL Sides

Yes, there is evidence that the central banks mostly based in America during WWI & WWII... If you are really interested in informing yourself, it is quite easy to find.

Also, corporations like IBM, ITT, Genera. Motors and the Ford Company built factories in Germany and sent teams of experts to help the Nazis industrialise and prepare for war.

Much the same was done to help the Soviet Union.

Both my great grandfathers were in WWII and my father and many uncles were in WWII... my father was a marine who said openly he didn't like professional soldiers and gave examples of their behaviour... one who kicked a young German boy in the balls who had had his legs blown off.

I would like to correct my statement about professional soldiers being scum... they are not, scum floats to the top, so that would more accurately describe the royal family, aristocracy, bankers and corporate CEO's.

Soldiers Are The Dregs Of Society

25.10.2013 10:16


Yes, if the wealthy and powerful are the scum, then professional soldiers are the dregs of society. The lowest of the low... always ready to do the bidding of their beloved queenie, who doesn't give a crap about them and their aristocratic and corporate lords and masters. How stupid can a person be?

I know first hand, because I was a professional soldier and was disgusted by most of what I saw. The British armed forces are run by the aristocratic 'Oxbridge' mafia... check out the staff officers... the ones with the red flashes on their collars. The British secret intelligence services [SIS] are also dominated by the same crowd.

Working class boys are seen as mere cannon fodder... the ruling elite are not protecting 'The People' of Britain... they are looking after their own family interests.

Who do you think are the major shareholders of central banks and multi national corporations?

It's well past time that this arrangement was fundamentally changed... not just here but around the world.

Well said KermitTheFrog

25.10.2013 11:46

In the Second World War people had no choice for various reasons.
Since then joining the forces has been volantary and therefore there is no excuse to start whining and making excuses. Especially when you are prepared to accept the pay packet.

If you are so disgusted by solders why did you join up? It's easy to be outraged now, but what atrocities did you commit? And in five years time will you chnage sides again and start working as a paid mercianary?
Just asking.

Don't Try To Change The Subject

25.10.2013 14:11


Professional soldiers are mercenaries... they do the dirty work for their wealthy sponsors.

No, I didn't commit atrocities, I wasn't raised that way... I was disgusted at the jingoistic, racist culture that exists in the army.

If I gave you my address Mac, you would end up in a body bag and I would be doing a life sentence for killing an idiot... not very sensible in my opinion.

The 'royal' family are WARLORDS and always have been... notice how they all sport uniforms when they appear on the balcony during parades and suchlike?

The first victims of these warlords and robber barons were the British people themselves, when they were driven off their land and forced into slave labour. They now use 'The Law' to intimidate and extort the British public, although violence and physical force are always an option... ask any activist or demonstrator.

I have no intention of going back into servitude for those inbred psychopaths.

Times are changing... they will be swept away into the dustbin of history, along with all their ass kissing slaves.

Minority

Soldiers like this are the minority. The vast majority don't kill civilians and you guys don't have any evidence to suggest otherwise.

Good banter team, good banter!

People do get worked up easily and detract from the point!
If the Bootnecks did intentionally slot that Taliban chap then they should face the consequences. Totally unacceptable !! End of story, full stop.

I'm a former Marine, no such thing as an ex Marine, 5yrs at 42cdo, 95-00. But I won't bore you, let's just say it set me up for my career in the Met! And to be honest, working with former soldiers, sailors, airman or Marines Is a damn sight better than some of the wallies coming in now with no life experience or common dog!

Not ACAB
