Saw this on the news today: UK Iraq veterans 'may face prosecution' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35211336
£57.2m has been set aside for this investigation, ultimately to assess whether UK troops have committed war crimes during the Iraq invasion.
I for one think that this is a hard pill to swallow, that our troops will be subject to an investigation into potential abuses, an investigation that will take longer and examine more "evidence" than was put into assessing the "evidence" of going to war in the first place.
We train these soldiers to kill, send them into a conflict where they are expected to kill, then attempt to prosecute them for killing.
