YOU SHOT MY BROTHER

British soldiers have complained to their superiors about having to wake up next to Taliban fighters in Afghanistan; possibly the same Taliban fighter who inflicted their wounds or killed their friends, in their (our) own front line military hospitals.

Under the Geneva Convention the British Army treats all wounded to the same high standards of medical care and treatment. Good for us and all that but what are we doing? Treat the enemy fighters well but let’s allow our people wounded in action to wake up in a comfortable environment surrounded by their own.

I’m sure the Taliban treat all foreign combatants wounded in action with the same respect and courtesy that they show to their own womenfolk.
