This is my idea of a courageous soldier. Someone with principles who stands up for what is right.

I feel so sorry for this honest man. He said it himself, it is only a matter of time. The government knows that. The train moves on, this goes from front to back. Just think of all the horror we know about from WWII, Vietnam even. Who cares? It is the stuff of debate and history and everyone is too busy. Look at the games over the war criminals from the Balkans. All deals, deals and playing for time. You will martyr yourself, you are a man of conscience. For what?

@FriTTzProductions Ben was given glowing references from SAS superiors AFTER refusing to return to Iraq, that should tell you something RIGHT THERE! He speaks for his brothers in arms and for the general public. The cruelty and murder doled out on Iraqis by trigger happy incompetent soldiers has CREATED danger for all of us. Grieving Iraqi families RETALIATE against oppressive forces. Defence is a soldiers calling, Oppression, indiscriminate murder and torture is not and dishonours the army!

@macconnell100 So the British SAS employ pussies? I think not - and as for 'intelligence specialists' being better qualified to speak, are they not the same 'specialists' who got us all into Iraq on the premise of weapons of mass destruction that NEVER existed!!?? Trigger happy soldiers are the pussies - and create danger for us all they're so shit scared of their own shadow they shoot first and think later - this guy thinks before he shoots, and before he speaks. Learn from his example.

@newworldodour Have faith. Police officers, like soldiers, didn't sign up to protect/enhance the financial interests of a wealthy invisible elite - and then get fucked over by them.

The tide is turning.

[newworldodour]

@BigEricHunt In my experience they don't and quite a few try to make it up as they go along, I'm not as optimistic as you about the Olympics personally but you never know, I think some kind of false flag might be more likely, a cull would be good though.

[BigEricHunt]

@newworldodour They already know. So it'll be interesting to see what happens after the olympics - when their numbers are severely culled and their incentives to enforce laws on behalf of the global elites no longer exist.

[newworldodour]

@BigEricHunt Next thing you'll be saying is the British police should know the laws they try to enforce

[KrazyKray04]

Its the bankers....politicians are puppets on a string...dangling from the bankers back pocket

bless him

He deserves a lot of respect.

I hate hypcritical fucking nationalists. If you retards think it's good when british soldiers conquer other nations like in the imperial days and if you think your soldiers have the legal right to torture innocent people in other nations why isn't it right for say China to conquer Britain and torture and steal resources from Britain? It's the same fucking thing only that you support it if it's your side who has the upper hand and not ther other way around.
