Berniecuddles - //good innit when sitting down cosily on your keyboards..when was the last time you put your life on the line like he has done ..deserves a medal not prison! //
As I have said times without number, you do not have to have either direct experience of a situation, or expert knowledge of it, in order to hold and express an opinion on here.
Just because I have never been a serving soldier or shot anyone does not mean I do not have, or I am not entitled to an opinion on this issue - we are all entitled to our view on this, which is what this thread is about.
To take the emotive attitude from your post - this is a professional soldier who was doing what he was trained and paid to do.
Because of the dreadful stress of battle, he acted for one moment against his training and instinct.
It is my view, and the view of many, including those with direct connection to the events, that mitigating circumstances, and crucial evidence was not provided in his court case, which may have led to a miscarriage of justice.
Does he deserve a medal? No more or less than any other serving soldier in this situation.
Does he deserve proper due process under the law? Absolutely, as does every citizen of this country.
Are we not to have an opinion because have not been to war? No.

That MS Blackman shot the Taliban fighter is not in dispute, he has admitted doing so in court.
The issue is that the circumstances surrounding that incident have not been properly addressed - that is why an appeal has been granted.
