Only just read this post.
Screaming I am totally in agreement with you and understand where you are coming from. Horrible and soldiers deserve SO much better.
I have a nephew, who was very lucky to survive a bomb blast in Afghan two years ago, which left him hospitalised and several months out of action. Just completed third term thankfully without injury. Not sure if he will have to return before troops supposed to pull out, but knowing him, he will be ready for action again.
Despicable that this atrocity should have been committed on home soil. There is something seriously wrong with society if such wickedness can happen on the streets of London in broad daylight.
It has left me speechless and I can't even begin to imagine the agony of the soldier's family and friends. It is times like this when I think the death penalty should be brought back.
