Support our troops? Not when they do this!
The MoD is furious that wikileaks has released many documents about the Iraq War.
They are furious as incidents like this one where a British soldier murdered an 8 year old girl as she played in the street have a very slight chance of becoming public knowledge:
...Lawyer Phil Shiner said the murder happened while soldiers were handing out sweets to children.
He said: "The tank stopped at the end of the street, she's there in her yellow dress, a rifleman pops up and blows her away."...
So, to those that say "you should support our troops", I ask, do they support murder?
I will support every coalition soldier brave enough to not have taken part in this war.

That's what i thought. Maybe Bijou's idea of 'THE REVIVAL OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE' isn't a bad one! =P

BUT back to the topic.. I think that the idea of support our troops isn't about being unconditional - much like anything in life, we have to draw the line somewhere and harming/killing innocents is most definitely that line.
Haven't read the wikileaks yet, but I completely agree, these troops can't be supported as sone kind of militant heroes .... More like cowards.
