Be Afraid
you just don't get it do you.
When a soldier is injured in Iraq or Afghanistan, sure he is compensated, only he must not say anything without clearance from the MoD. If he does then the compensation may well be withdrawn.
The same applies to the family of any soldier killed. Yes there is compensation, however, all we be put at risk if you say anything.
They now have effectively forced Special Forces to sign confidentiality contracts prohibiting any disclosures on the basis that they may make money from such disclosures. If they do not sign then they will not be able to join Special Forces.
If they make any comments then the MoD takes out injunctions preventing any disclosures. Why do you not hear of any, I mean any former soldier, making any negative comments about the war. Because they have been silenced, that is why. That is unless they are a general or high officer who has got permission from the MoD to publish sanitised versions of the war in Iraq.
The arrest of Damiian Green is not news, it is not news because so much has happened before the arrest of Damien Green concerning freedom of speech, and what is allowed into the media. You do not have a clue as to how many injunctions are in place preventing free speech.
The role of the media in the Prince Harry in Afghanistan story has set a precedent. The media, not only the BBC, have failed the British public. You are just as guilty as this shameful governmnet because you have not gone public. You, the media should have spoken out. They are soon going to be knocking on your doors, be afraid, very afraid.
