    Some of our military murder each other sometimes, too - or commit suicide and using 4 bullets to do it!! 'Deepcut Barracks'?

    I actually put the Green Beret's above all the other groups because they have the hardest tasks. They have to go behind enemy lines and using mostly local resources build up an army often from scratch. They have to do this for months on end compared to the SEALS which are a quick reaction force and are in and out fairly quickly.

    Most GBs know at least 3 languages and I believe they are required to have a college degree although I might be wrong about that.

    I know I shouldn't joke about it but they must be really bad shots. Or maybe they just need to issue the "L.H.O. Carcano M91 Special". With that, you can inflict 4 wounds with a single bullet at a distance of 81 m. It's a fact!

    I was careful to not make a joke of it too, but it's what happened according to the reportage of the incident. I don't know how anyone could commit suicide 81 metres from the gun used to do it?

    "L.H.O. special" Lee Harvey Oswald. 81 metres to his target. You have to admit it is pretty funny.

    But we're talking suicide here, aren't we? He couldn't've killed himself from 81 metres away? :eyepopping:

    Yes, but you said it can take 4 bullets to shoot your self. I am saying it can take only one bullet to kill 4.

    Crossed wire here: it was reported nationally that one of the soldiers who died in Deepcut 'committed suicide', and that 5 (I wrongly remembered it as 4) rounds were missing from the magazine of his rifle.

    "Pte Benton was the first to die. He was found with five gunshot wounds in June 1995 while on guard at a perimeter fence. Did he kill himself? The Army said so, and an inquest concurred."

    So he wanted to commit suicide, but it took him 5 high calibre bullets to do it? I don't think so!

    I think 3 is my best multikill to date. But a shotgun, not a single bullet.

    Essentially the faster I want something to die, the more bullets I use. Death is quite painful. Very unpleasant to watch. Feelings of guilt etc.
    Over kill is preferred.

    Depcot seems to be gay love gone wrong. IMO.
    A predator taking advantage of the army's new rules.



    Shooting yourself in the head with a rifle?
    Quite difficult to do. Let alone shooting yourself in the heart.

    Try a pistol.

    No, it was all to do with bullying and intimidation.

    Gay predator.
    Shagged young men at their most vulnerable time. Coming of age.
    Isolated from home and friends in a boot camp.

    Sexual bullying and intimidation.

    New gay rules meant army didn't know how to respond to it. So it went as far as it did unaddressed.

    Political Corrects being what they are, this got white washed out at the BBC and Guardian. Because it is better that young men are driven to murder and suicide than gays be spoken about negatively.

    I'd have thought you'd appreciate reading different perspectives from impartial observers. Mac? [​IMG]

    I don't hate Americans, I hate their government agencies' political naivete and stupidity because of the trouble it arouses worldwide.

    Nope. I'm able to address the subject freely.
    You on the other hand, not so much.

    Females can be gay too by the way. And lesbians can sexually bully and intimidate just as much as anyone else.
    It happens and it happens in the military too.

    Yes of course, but you should get some insight before doing so. Accepting your scepticism apropos the MSM and especially the BBC's reportage, there was never any mention of homosexuality. Actually I seem to recall it was the BBC who exposed it?

    And failed to address the homosexuality aspect of it... because well, the BBC has a pro gay rights agenda and a will to set the political corrects in this society.
    Gay rights in the military being a rather contentious issue at the time, they simply airbrushed it out. BBC style.
