There seem to me to be way too many people today who want to sit in judgement on men who risked their lives to protect others, from the comfort of their civilian lives, and who don't understand that war is a dirty business - especially the type of war that special forces troops are often asked to undertake. And when criminal prosecution still fails to happen because of a lack of evidence, then civil cases are brought with a lower standard of evidence required and people who are supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law, are labelled as 'war criminals' 'on the balance of probabilities'.
