I believe that our fighting men and women conduct themselves better than most in conflict and in martial law situations. I also concur with the opinion of MPs with experience of policing by UK forces that there have been spurious and vexatious claims of brutality. However, soldiers are soldiers and there will always be pressure on discipline. So it behoves our defence chiefs to treat all claims objectively and transparently in order to maintain a reputation for fairness, and not to let off lightly those who abuse their positions. WE must not allow UK forces to be bracketed with the IDF, as an organ of state terrorism.
