He shot an insurgent carrying a fucking RPG. he is being harassed for not issuing a warning. Armed police being harassed for fully justified shooting is common occurrence in your country for armed police officers. I'm assuming your bongistani due to your inability to read.

Did you even read the story?

>The story, which does not include any details of when or where the incident occurred, focuses on a British base which was the subject of repeated attacks by an individual over a period of weeks.

>The attacker was allegedly armed with an RPG and habitually targeted the British base after Friday prayers.

>Soldiers are reported to have been warned not to return fire for fear of harming bystanders who gathered to watch the event after leaving their local mosque.

>The following Thursday, with the base having been the subject of further RPG attacks from the same insurgent, a patrol unit with a sniper attached allegedly targeted the individual before his regular attack took place.

>“As the insurgent’s finger tightened on the trigger of the RPG, a single shot cracked out,” says the account.

>The unidentified sniper’s case was revealed on Monday by campaigners

>“The round flew almost 1,200 metres across the face of the crowd missing them safely. The RPG jumped unfired into the air and the insurgent’s body briefly flew across the ground having been hit by a veteran of long military service, a graduate of the Army Sniper School.”

The cunt he killed shelled the base on a regular fucking basis and the local civilian population would show up to cheer.

Well.... the Brits ARE occupying THEIR land.

Fixd. Damn Swype, damn kindle keyboard bugs.

But seriously, when are we going to stop occupying Germany, Japan, and the Middle East?

When they get so sick of us being there that they fucking NUKE us? When they start covertly creating nuclear bombs and sneaking them into our cities?

Are we seriously going to occupy and subjugate the entire world? Because given enough time, if we keep using our current strategy, that appears what we are going to do.

I've seen bits and pieces where it showed that character raping a guy and killing someone's family and read the plot. It doesn't sound worth my time to watch some film that goes on about bad things happening to someone excusing them acting like an animal and that being the best way to get things done. Same with the movie I don't remember the name of that's all about torturing some guy to get the location of a bomb that he planted because torture would totally provide meaningful intelligence in that situation.
>>

Touche.

But what's American freedom? The system requires you to have money to stay within the law... so it's still a form of slavery. I'm splitting hairs, but it's true.

>>28614330

Probably because we are still guilt tripping the fuck out of them over what their great great grandparents did. How do you know we are so welcome to keep staying in Germany and Japan? And WHEN do you think we will come home from the Middle East? Our embassies are being bombed all the time. It's kinda a big sign that we aren't welcome there, no matter what their politicians say to our face their military leaders probably say something else behind our back.

You are depriving yourself of a good movie, and what you are describing is wrong. There is an attempted rape in the movie, and it is stopped. That scene and the other you are describing involve different characters, and is a lot deeper than what you are suggesting.

>How do you know we are so welcomte to keep staying in Germany and Japan
Because they let us? You seem to forget what I said about the Philippines making us go when they politely asked, and we conceded. The Japanese have literally no reason to even try nuking us given what we did to them the last time they fucked with us. Germany, I cannot conceivably think why you think they would fuck with anything nuclear when they banned nuclear power. They already guilt-trip themselves all the time over the Nazis, why the everloving fuck would they ruin that by nuking us?

Sanctions are an act of war, too.

It's FUCKED UP that we will sell them chemicals, explosives, and guns, then sanction them for using them.

SADDAM bought sarin gas from American companies, right?

America has not only two faces, but four. The one they show their enemies, the one they show their allies, and the one they show their civilians... and then the true face that's virtually incomprehensible to humans.

I'm not saying corporations didn't take advantage of it. Taking advantageous opportunities is indeed a major doctrine in capitalism. Nothing wrong with that unless you're unfairly taking advantage, that is, stealing.

I'm saying the average troop was there to avenge 9/11 and protect his country.
>>
>>28614496
A happy end for Afghanistan would be the country going back to being the CIA's private dope farm again. TPTB kept the region as a backwater and the government as a hierarchy of stooges and things went pretty well as the natives were left to durkadurka their hearts out however they liked as long as the opium flowed. Unfortunately, returning to that reality more-or-less requires the dismantling of Islamic extremism in the entire region to create a power vacuum and that's not happening in the foreseeable future.

It neither stated nor implied that the insurgent with the RPG was 1200 meters away from the base, or that the sniper took the shot from the base.
>>
>>28614741
>1200 meters is well past the self-destruct range on an RPG-7
Sure, however nowhere in the article does it suggest that the range from the base to the Insurgent was 1200 meters, only that the shot was at that distance.

>The following Thursday, with the base having been the subject of further RPG attacks from the same insurgent, a patrol unit with a sniper attached allegedly targeted the individual before his regular attack took place.
'a patrol unit with a sniper attached' seems to suggest that the shot was not taken from the base itself and that the specific insurgent was targeted and expected to attack again after a pattern of previous attacks.

ROE for soldiers and police are vastly different. A cop only needs to 'feel threatened' and bada-boom, dead crim. In the army, I had Shout, Show, Shove, Shoot (warning shot), Shoot (to kill?). Accountability is stilted. If we're giving cops military shit, they need military training and ROE.
