Thanks for that find, lancey howard, on the British MoD report. The report...” confirms that soldiers believe that if they shoot dead insurgents they will become embroiled in a “protracted investigation” and if prosecuted will receive “no support from the chain of command”.”....”The Royal Military Police Special Investigation Branch has conducted more than 150 investigations in Iraq involving British soldiers, with more than 100 of these launched after troops opened fire when attacked by insurgents.”...

I hope the treatment of the Haditha Marines does not cause this attitude in our troops.
