@Royrogers Well you are entitled to your opinion. I am simply providing the context to this proposed legislation. Given the s**tstorm going on in Minnesota right now, I would have thought the argument against blanket immunity for any group of government employees is blindingly obvious.
However imperfect the current peace process in NI, it has saved thousands of lives since 1997 and allowed a shattered region to rebuild itself. It has been far more successful than the hardline pursued by Thatcher in the 1980s.

@SunshineGirl as you say you are entitled to your opinion. I am aware through official sources that the IRA still pose a significant terrorist threat. I also do not accept it as justice when known terrorists are allowed to escape justice and those who were shot at by those terrorists, from among civilians, are prosecuted for doing their duty. The illusion to the situation in America is not relevant nor comparable to what our armed forces had to put up with in NI. If you get the chance ask someone who served in NI how the different communities behaved towards the soldiers. The filth thrown at them from amongst crowds and above. But their orders were not to respond.

@Royrogers My uncle did a tour of duty in Ulster in 1987-8 during Thatcher's "no surrender" phase (after the Brighton hotel bombing). The lack of consensual soldiering and refusal to compromise endangered the lives of British service personnel. My father and mother served 23 and 18 years respectively in the Royal Navy. One thing I know from growing up in a service environment is that there are bad apples in every outfit. If you give them unqualified immunity from prosecution they will commit crimes.

He is insulting many western nations who stood by America in her hour of need, often disregarding the will of their electorates in order to fulfil their international obligations. Not least of all Denmark, who lost more soldiers per capita than any other NATO member.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sharply condemned U.S. President Donald Trump after remarks suggesting British and NATO troops avoided the front line in Afghanistan. Speaking from Downing Street, Starmer called the comments “insulting” and “appalling,” paying tribute to the 457 British service members who died fighting alongside U.S. forces after the September 11 attacks. "If I had misspoken in that way or said those words, I would certainly apologise," he said. The remarks have sparked anger across the UK, with Starmer stressing that British troops fought and bled on the front line for shared values, freedom, and alliance solidarity — warning that such statements risk wounding families, veterans, and the foundations of the transatlantic partnership.
My comments:
Demented Donnie had his chance to be a WAR HERO and what did HE DO?
He chickened out, broke the law by falsifying his official medical record, and DODGED THE DRAFT out of personal COWARDICE!

@KunsanVeteran Dodged the draft and has been cheating his nation ever since.

@SunshineGirl The only question is how much was bred into him vs how much resulted from his demented view of the world.
But, as a principle of logic, it doesn’t matter because: a difference that makes no difference is no difference.

I don't know of a Western nation, that Trump hasn't insulted. And a few others on top of that. Including the USA itself.
Trump has been rated by historians as the 43rd worst president out of 45 in USA history. And Trump refuses to even list the last four terms because of that on a government site. The first being Obama being ranked at 11th (real figure).
Any questions why he would exclude Obama? 🤣

@KunsanVeteran appreciated

Having been deployed with NATO allies, I view them every bit as close colleagues as my own units. It’s incredibly insulting that the Demented Cowardly Draft Dodger insults them so.
I think Congress needs to grow up, open their eyes, and impeach tRUMP before his behavior gets even worse—I know—I’ve said it myself—“he can’t sink any lower”—but he always does.
How about we start with arresting Stephen Miller? And Mike Johnson? As accessories to his crimes?

He has now, sort of, tried to reverse his allegation; but he did not apologise, he did praise UK troops but not those of other NATO countries involved, and still finished with "...are second to none, except Americans".

He has even insulted American military
His grandfather fled Germany because he didn’t want to do his military service
It runs in the family

Sometimes he just doesn't choose his words very well.....
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@nudistsueaz I suppose you could frame saying something which is opposite to the truth as not choosing words carefully, or you could just characterise it as not telling the truth.
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
@FreddieUK I think so too

@sunsporter1649 Keep repeating yourself. I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.
He has repeatedly insulted American servicemen and war dead

Given it was the US's war to begin with. Afghanistan did not attack the USA. There is no evidence that any terrorists were based out of there. The whole war was a hoax and the US running away as it did leaving all their gear behind is even more unintelligible. Does the US have any competent military minds left or are they all as deluded as Trump appears to be.

@hippyjoe1955 Like destroying mushroom factories?

What can one expect of a US President who even insults American war heroes like John McCain.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@Alexander18 Yeah McCain wasn't much of a war hero. Sorry to inform you.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@hippyjoe1955 He was seriously injured, imprisoned for nearly 6 years, and tortured in service of his country. That is exceptional by any standard in any era. Don't do Trump's work for him.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@SunshineGirl he willfully disobeyed orders and as a result was shot down.

Trump insulting someone? He knows no other way. It’s because of his small di—-hands.
