Five SAS soldiers were cleared of murder allegations after an 18-month investigation by the Royal Military Police regarding their engagement with a confirmed jihadist. In a live battlefield scenario, they shot the jihadist while responding to an imminent threat. Critics argued that the investigation was unnecessary and damaging to the soldiers, who faced significant emotional and legal distress. The case underscores the perilous situations faced by Special Forces and the crucial decision-making involved in combat.
It takes some believing but the guys have been staring down the barrel of murder trials for shooting a confirmed jihadist in a live battlefield situation.
That's fine and dandy for them, but for the soldiers who risked their lives that night to be accused - and to wait so long for justice - that was appalling.
