Two British soldiers arrested over allegations of sex abuse with 10-year-old children while they served in Afghanistan | Mail Online

Whilst US Marines seem to carry much critism, the net Is awash with cases of abuse by British soldiers.... This Is the latest...

Can this be oscar? Wow, far out!

Now which would you consider to be worse ....

a) Grown men engaging in anal sex in the American Armed Forces?

OR

b) Paedophiles in the British Armed Forces?

I know which of the two get my vote!!

If the grown men In the American armed forces are consenting adults, as far as I am concerned, that's not even up for debate...... However....

The sexual abuse of children by British Soldiers Is beyond contempt. I wonder just how much of this goes on but doesn't get reported on ?

Rather strange that a thread detailing abuse by US Marines gets soooooooooo many replies whilst this one does not!

I wonder why? :thinking:

What kind of an answer is that? Its a cop out. Irrespective of how you view your military or any other countries armed forces, right is right and wrong is wrong.

The Peeing on dead soldiers thread saw a flurry of activity and passionate posting yet this one has failed to attract any serious takers.

Was It because 'Peeing on dead soldiers' was about US Marines ? And because this one Is about the British troops abusing Afghan Children,, we have all suddenly done that very British thing of ' Ahem' 'No comment'

You're quite right, I don't have to know but, since this is an open forum, I was curious as to what you meant.

Peeing on dead people or abusing children, both are despicable regardless of any military affiliation.

Well basically what I meant was why was the thread about the wrongdoings of American armed forces so well patronised by some members whilst these self same members remained conspicuous by their absence on this thread.
