Britain Undermining National Security Through Legal Turmoil
The UK’s elite special forces association has warned that Britain is undermining its own national security by putting soldiers through years of legal turmoil after sending them to fight ISIS. The association says soldiers’ lives, families, and careers are being damaged by the way they are treated, with five members of the SAS regiment investigated over the deaths of two people during a raid in Syria in July 2022. The investigation, which lasted three years, has raised concerns about the handling of the case and the impact on the soldiers’ mental health and careers. The Ministry of Defence has said that concerns about the handling of the investigation have been raised with the Defence Serious Crime Unit, as reported by LBC.
