A sergeant and a private are alleged to have encouraged a boy and a girl aged about ten to touch them inappropriately. The uniformed servicemen were accused of filming the separate incidents before showing the footage to shocked colleagues on their laptop computers. Military police are said to have arrested the pair after complaints from their comrades. The two soldiers were reported to belong to the 2nd Mercian Battalion Battle Group, which is fighting the Taliban in the Nahr-e Saraj area of Helmand. This was denied by military sources, who refused to identify the troops’ regiment. The Ministry of Defence said it was taking the claims ‘very, very seriously’. Officers from the Royal Military Police are investigating. A source close to the investigation said: ‘Nothing has been proven. What we have to establish is whether we are looking at sexual predatory behaviour, or totally ill-judged larking about. ‘Whatever the case, it is utterly inappropriate and terribly damaging to the British Army’s reputation in Afghanistan.’[/quote] [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2088280/Two-British-soldiers-arrested-allegations-sex-abuse-10-year-old-children-served-Afghanistan.html]SOURCE[/url]
Holy shit, what the fuck, why would you show this to everyone else? [quote]The uniformed servicemen were accused of filming the separate incidents before showing the footage to shocked colleagues on their laptop computers.[/quote]
US soldiers might piss on dead bodies and beat sheep but this tops them both.
....Doesn't represent the military as whole. You know, it sucks, if an American did this we'd have like 10 times more rage.

Let them walk around a Taliban village for 15 minutes with a "I'm a pedophile" sign. Problem solved.

NONE of these cases should be happening and for you to say "oh these ones aren't as bad as that one so ha!" is one of the most offensive things I have read all day. All three situations are absolutely despicable and we should not be focusing on which military does the worse shit, but how to avoid that shit entirely.

Come on Britain get your shit together.

It's not like you don't have 50 year old guys marrying 9 year old girls in Afghanistan already.

[QUOTE=Groat;34309616]Probably because there are a lot of people on here who blindly and without substance post too many uninformed and ignorant anti-America posts. Like you.[/QUOTE] Being an American, I'm not sure what business I'd have hating Americans. I'm really getting tired of my fellow countrymen being cranky about the supposedly massive problem of "anti-Americanism" on Facepunch and elsewhere, and I think a lot of it has to do with people not being able to tell the difference between a criticism of American government or culture, and a criticism of American people as a whole.

Besides, iirc, they pull some religious excuse to get around it legally (And about homosexual relations being illegal as well)
Well I guess we could say "In a while, peadophile!

And he's right, there'd be a lot more raging/hating if these were American soldiers. I'll admit I'm not in England so I don't know how much focus the local media is putting on this but the two incidents with American soldiers, which let's face it were not as bad as this, got major international attention.
