Electric Shock Devices

UK troops busted illegally electrocuting each other - ABC News

Two British soldiers who were videoed using illegal electric shock devices on each other in Iraq are likely to face disciplinary action.


I wish to goodness they'd make war illegal. It is 2008. Time to give up barbaric behaviour. Just as seriously, I want you to read and reread this article because there is a real problem. Amnesty International confirmed these were illegal electric shock weapons. Daisy cutters aren't illegal? Massacring civilians is not illegal? Bombing children is not illegal? We live in strange times. So why are soldiers videoing themselves using illegal electric shock weapons ON EACH OTHER?????? Videos go public, we all know that. Videoing them seems to be a really dumb move from soldiers...they are supposed to be trained...aren't they? Where did they get the so called illegal weapons from? Aren't they supposed to be soldiering rather than zapping each other with illegal weapons? So why are these weapons illegal and not other weapons which kill , maim, destroy, spindle and mutilate? Then the two soldiers are purported to be saying that these weapons hurt a lot...AND THEN THEY ATTACK EACH OTHER WITH THE DEVICES. It sounds like they have seriously lost it. It sounds like they need pain...so they really have lost it. It sounds like they are prepared to really hurt each other.They really have no idea what they are doing. They don't need discipline. They need a lot of help. A lot...and we need our bloomin' heads read that we allow this to happen. We are just as responsible as those soldiers.
