First posting by Oranos that I have agreed with

No way should the 'soldiers ' have lost their weapons

First rule ...(any ex servicemen will know what I mean)

Court Martial offence when I was in, glad you said weapons and not guns.

Is it not time the national Guard was disbanded ..if these soldiers were in the british or any other NATO army...
they would be JAILED ....At no time do you hand over or allow your weapon to be held by a non friendly /civilian ..nor do you loose your gun

these guys should be jailed not only the drunk guy ..try doing that to a squaddie ...youd be eating the floor ...

national joke ...waste of £350 million cyp a year ....

i served in the U.K army and did my national service ...,i teach U.N combatants ...this is jailable act ...only in cyprus can this happen ..

for the softies on this forum ...who will criticise ...by law a soldier can tell you halt x2 ,...shoot his gun near you and on the third halt shoot you ..

any body want to test this out

I saw this y/day and thought it was a joke. I would say that shooting the drunk would be too humane for someone that stupid. Breaking his cheeks with the butt end of the gun is preferable - he gets to live, but with permanent damage to remind him until the day he dies that he's a dolt. Plus, it'll hurt more.

Anyway, is there really a "soldiers' mothers' union" trying to get guns banned from the nat. guard because they're dangerous? Or is this an urban legend?
