Not Just in Britain

As if soliders don't have enough to worry about...
It does not seem to be like that here too much, but I have seen all manner of absurdity including the Spanish goverment (may those responsible rot somewhere unpleasant for this) putting out arrest warrants for an American tank crew that happened to take out some reporters while returning fire at the enemy.
Not cool. Some people seem to be so scared of war crimes that they seem to assume that every soldier is a monster, forgetting that most of our guys are good, decent people and that the people we are fighting in this case are almost universally bad: they are terrorists. These enemies fight under no flag and for naught but enslavement and destruction. Not even the Germans in the 1940s were that bad: many of their soldiers were decent people.
Some people seem to forget that these soldiers are stopping crimes against humanity. There is no need to give genuinly evil soldiers a pass, but is not that. This is out of hand and it's interfering with the war effort, worse, needlessly interfeing with the lives of good men who have stepped up to the task of putting down bad men.
