Are you saying that our soldiers should be able to attack the enemy, but the enemy shouldn't be able to attack our soldiers?.
It's the reason that, at the same time as Lancasters were prowling the skies above Europe, Beaufighter and Mosquito night fighters were prowling the skies above Britain. |

Nope. And I resent that implication, I'm simply saying that people who fight in a war are legitimate targets for the enemy. That includes our own troops - They are legitimate targets for our enemy, and I don't agree with all this emotional thinking that when the enemy kills "our boys" it's murder, but when we kill them it's fine.
Are you saying that our soldiers should be able to attack the enemy, but the enemy shouldn't be able to attack our soldiers? That would be double standards of the most ridiculous order. British soldiers are "our" boys so of course we hope that they win any fights, but surely we should also accept the reality that the enemy might attack our guys from time to time? It's what happens in war, and everyone is saying this is a war. Where Daesh have been targeted abroad isn't even their own countries half the time. They are an invading force over there as much as they would be here. And any serving personnel who are part of a force attacking them are doing so legitimately. Daesh are not a legitimate force and have not entered the areas they occupy legally. Or do you think that what they have done to people in Syria etc is fine and dandy? |

.That soldier was, in the eyes of his attackers, an enemy combatant. It doesnt matter whether he was off duty. Its like some of our guys ambushing a jihadist while he's relaxing at home.

http://www.lynnnews.co.uk/news/lates...tive-1-7745689 The detective in charge has said “Whilst I continue to maintain an open mind, the enquiries completed so far lead me to believe that the motive for this attack is quite possibly un-related to terrorism. “While it is very easy to understand how the incident could be perceived as being terrorist-related – particularly from the victim’s perspective – there are good reasons to believe that there is another explanation for it. |
