The court martial, held earlier this month, heard that the two men assaulted Mohammed Ekhlas in March 2009 after he was arrested on suspicion of trying to plant an improvised explosive device (IED).

Sergeant Mark Leader, one of the men court-martialled for attacking the Afghan, had lost three friends to the Taliban’s landmines. Captain Jody Wheelhouse, who was also court-martialled, joined in with what his Troop Sergeant was doing.
Sergeant Leader, who was dismissed from the service, will not just be deprived of his livelihood and burdened for years to come with his conviction. He has lost pension rights worth £400,000. Captain Wheelhouse’s life (he was dismissed ‘with disgrace’) is likewise blighted.
I’m prepared to concede that both men should have restrained themselves. But I think their action was understandable and trivial. They should have been let off with a reprimand.
Why do we, soft on real criminals and allied to a country – the USA – whose armed forces casually fry innocent civilians from the safety of helicopters, turn in this way on good men who daily face dangers most of us would run from?

It does not surprise me one little bit that there are those who will side with the Taliban on this forum and think its just and right to do this to 2 men who are are doing a job most here would never do. These same people would not have the guts to do what these brave men do daily .
Liberals make me sick with what they are trying to do to this country.
