Turn of the sick British Soldier

Well I thought our armed services were amongst the most humane in the world, guess it turns out that they may not be as good as I expected. Luckily it seems that it was only a one individual in this case and well in the armed forces you expect the occasional psychopath, even so I hope that all the criminal charges that can be brought on him are - of course the person may not be guilty as the pictures that the Mirror have published are not at the best angle which if is the case then the paper should produce a formal apology. I guess we will find out soon once the military investigation is completed. I do find this rather convenient that this emerged just after American troops were found to be doing worse acts. I do not know if it is my cynical side here but it does seem odd on how these pictures were immediately released, I would go as far to even speculate that the USA had something to do with the quick release of this images to soften the blow on how their soldiers are acting. This may be a little extremely but well propaganda and spin is a world we live in so to be cautious and maybe a little far fetched can help.
