So at what point do they look in the mirror and go "Wait a second, we're the bad guys."

As an argument against that, how about the fact that all of his squadmates talked about doing the same thing and to this day don't believe he did anything wrong? Are they all suffering from mental health conditions?

As an aside, I'm surprised Marines B and C got off on the conspiracy to murder charge. They were fully complicit, and "just following orders" famously is not a valid defence to war crimes; they had an obligation to disobey any unlawful order from Blackman.

Yeah, agreed, it would be interesting to see the trial comments from them too. There's no getting away from the fact that they all seemed to be active participants, and the events outlined in your previous post are just loving nasty. :(

I can't speak for Marine C's actions, but Marine B was the cameraman who was not happy at all at having to give medical care to the insurgent.

Go for it. I don't have any I can ask at the moment, but from my previous placement I definitely got the vibe of 'this might be a real thing, or it might be just a fancy way to say that people make bad decisions and get emotional under stress'.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I honestly thought it would take longer than 12 hours after the negotiation period began to make open threats towards Europe but I guess I gave them more credit than they deserve.

You know, I'm starting to think that this planet is just some kind of quarantined reality show. The advanced aliens are just cloaking, recording us and broadcasting everything live all over the Virgo Supercluster. In the beginning, they were replacing our politicians with shapeshifters, but it turns out the shapeshifters were causing less chaos than actual humans, so now they just let us break everything on our own.

Edit ^^^ I thought it was a reasonable letter on the whole, apart from the security cooperation threat, but at least they're finally explicitly saying that the UK isn't expecting something for nothing, doesn't expect access to the single market etc.

I was slightly worried that Davies and Boris would be sat down at the grown-ups negotiating table asking for all the bullshit they promised in the campaign. At least they're not going to be laughed out of the room on day 1.
