    This is pussy behavior. Very fucked up government SOP.

    You are essentially telling the world that if you invade them and collaborators help, any promises you give for safety for the collaborators and their families is a bullshit lie.

    So why the fuck would anyone want to help you in the future?

      I think it’s even more sinister than that. The implication in the article is that they didn’t want them in the UK because they could be forced to give evidence in court about possible UK special forces war crimes.

      They’ve done this in every war for the past 80 years, and it hasn’t hurt recruitment yet. You can always find stupid and greedy people who will sell out their neighbors to be bullet fodder.
