A British soldier serving with the special forces is facing war crime charges after threatening to shoot dead a Taliban prisoner during interrogation unless he co-operated.
If charged, the soldier, who was serving with the special forces support group (SFSG), will be tried by court martial. If found guilty of either war crimes or assault with a weapon, he could expect to receive a custodial sentence. The incident took place in a forward operating base in Helmand after members of the special forces captured several suspected Taliban gunmen believed to have been responsible for carrying out improvised explosive device attacks against British troops.

We send our troops out there with no air support, no proper equipment and SHITE WEAPONS and THEN WE TIE ONE HAND BEHIND THEIR BACKS WHEN THEY INTERROGATE AN ENEMY SOLDIER.
IT'S NO WONDER THE MILITARY FUCKING HATE GORDON BROWN.
