Man Murdered in Woolwich

[BDunnell]

Killing innocent civilians in any country is unacceptable and we can only hope our forces don't do it on purpose just to make a point.

Indeed. But, technically, if the Woolwich victim was a soldier as has been suggested, he is not a civilian even though he was not in uniform or on duty at the time of the incident.

But he was likely to be unarmed - which makes any attack of this brutality all the more cowardly.

Is that you comparing someone in this thread with an allegedly brutal murderer? Looks like it to me.

I am comparing the two for their lack of honor and not knowing what a real man is.

I agree, when soldiers are unarmed and in civilian clothing, they are not posing a threat to anybody. They are also citizens of this country and employed by our government so should be able to walk down the street without a sub human coward taking their life IMHO.

And what has Dave B posted exactly that can be deemed lacking honour?

Of course, hence my use of the word 'technically'.

I agree. But I would point out that at least one of those deleted was simply making the point that another post was unacceptable, a comment with which there was clearly agreement. Anyway, back on topic.

One might say the same of any civilian casualty in war.

Don't bother. You obviously only want one opinion so I will just ignore this thread. Have fun telling each other how great you all are!
