Disgusting behaviour by those supposed to support their country

16 May 2008 11:42
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7403383.stm I think this is disgusting behaviour by those in the forces or those who used to be. IMO, its like shooting your own team member or even a family member (well, i call them a family member because they are essentially watching your back and can actually save you, same goes for vice versa, sometimes they might even take a bullet for you). The forces are already under equipped as they are but yet these guys decide to instead help their fellow men, make a quick buck and put guns on the streets of civilians.

wow Eighteen army servicemen have been dealt with either summarily or by army courts martial for theft of military equipment in the last three years, four of which involved the theft of firearms. Among them was marine John Hickman, jailed last year for seven-and-a-half years for stealing a Browning 9mm pistol from the naval base in Faslane, on the Clyde.

Sensationalised garbage blown way out of proportion There is corruption all over the place - it just so happens that when a corrupt individual is in the army with access to weapons , then weapons will get out - Just as a corrupt Tesco's worker will sell blue stripy baked beans to his mates on the cheap - exactly the same thing , although obviously a huge stigma attached due the the potential ramifications. To expect corruption not to occour in sensitive areas such as this is futile - not saying it is right by any means , but you are always going to get it

We arm countries with weapons daily. Yes. A good example is Israel. They are given millions in aid and weapons, even though it's an ILLEGAL apartheid state

Where else can respectable criminals get weapons? Criminals need weapons, so they have to get them from somewhere

Wasn't there a problem with a load of SA80's (or whatever , I am not up on my guns) not working properly ? Stroke of genius if the MOD are palming these off on the criminal underworld via the backdoor

I absolutely do not think its along or anywhere near the same thing. Totally different perspective and I dont even believe the same principal is there. ORIGINAL: drab4 Army boys involved in crime? I'm shocked. Shocked to my very core lol, just from meeting about 5 dudes who were on break or were in the forces, i couldnt agree anymore with your comment. ORIGINAL: James Where else can respectable criminals get weapons? Criminals need weapons, so they have to get them from somewhere Indeed but why do the army lads have to be a supplier for even 1 of those weapons. Essentially, what they are doing is disarming their team member / unit of a weapon which potentially can take down 'x' number of enemies per bullet in a weapon. When I read it, I just though FFS, thats your own team player / bro who youre making worse off. As above, I dont have any knowledge for what happens around the army lifestyle, , currently serving, ex forces, media portrayal etc. so my comments are just coming from the article (which as of course, i know not to believe 100% as its the standard media story).

I believe that guy stole an SA80 too but really at the end of the day its only one pistol from a base in scotland not likely to see any imediate action is it? Still wrong of course and he deserved what he got. You know what im' going to say, if firearms were legalised and controled properly then criminals might think twice about running around with weapons if they know some law abiding civs are armed.

I disagree , other than the ramifications involved (as I already pointed out) the principle is the same , corrupt employess taking advantage of their postion of trust to make a few quid for themselves I can't see how it is any different ?
