[An investigation has been launched after soldiers were filmed using
a picture of Jeremy Corbyn in target practice.
The Ministry of Defence said the incident was "totally unacceptable" and "falls
well below the high standards the army expects".
It is understood the soldiers were using simulated paint rounds and not real bullets.]

How much money are they going to waste on this.

[Northern Monkey]

It was only paint.

Atleast we know the military’s thoughts on Corbyn now.

No
it was just 4 in that video
and the Guilty one who filmed it.

So 5 Guilty of this.
The MOD are tracking them
Faces shown on SkyNewsHD and all media.


BBC NewsHD covered their faces.

They are clearly from the Parachute Regiment. One of their number who served in the 70s has just been informed he's being prosecuted for the Bloody Sunday attack. Meanwhile, no IRA member will be prosecuted for any of the atrocities they carried out, and not just against soldiers, against civilians... woman... children. Far from prosecution, many have been pardoned.

Jeremy Corbyn spent much of the Troubles campaigning for the IRA while they blew the arms and legs off civilians both in NI and on the mainland. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has a plaque on the wall of his office to this day, commemorating the IRA hunger strikers.

And people are calling for these soldiers to be thrown out of the army for firing paint at a picture.

Paint Guns were used

This is breaking rule number one that the armed forces should not be political. These folks need to be booted out. Simple

Yeah especially in the current climate where MPs fear for their safety and someone was convicted yesterday of plotting to murder a Labour MP

I don't know whether they should be booted out but something needs to happen

Jut wait till Corbyn gets in. Our ridiculously small army will be reduced to nothing.

[smudgie]

Corbyn has shown disdain for our troops in the past, can’t blame them for showing what they think of him.
The big problem here was thinking it’s ok to go viral with it.

[Livia]

Seriously, if some of the stuff soldiers do for laughs ever get on the web people will sh1t and pi55 themselves.

They're in Afghanistan, they fired paint pellets at a picture of Corbyn. No one died.

Let's play a game, let's say that, instead of Corbyn, it was a picture of Rees-Moggs they shot at. I do not believe for a second you would be so accepting of it.

Just because they are shooting at a picture of someone you hate, doesn't make what they are doing okay.

I was a military brat, my late husband was a career soldier, you would have a pink fit if you knew some of the scary stuff they did to combat the mind-numbing boredom punctuated by moments of terrifying intensity. They could have had a picture of Rees-Mogg, or anyone else you imagine I support and it would have made no difference to me at all. They fired paint at a picture.

I hope the army, after all the centuries of service, despite the backstabbing by successive governments - Tory and Labour, says... we're standing down, **** you all.

[joeysteele]

my Brothers who served in the RAF.
Stated today while it was stupid firstly to film it.

In their view they have brought disgrace to the uniform, Queen and Country.

I haven't served in the forces, and am sure Soldiers need light relief and pranks.
However on this, I'll stand with my Brothers.
No matter what politician's image they were firing at.

It's what thinking was behind it that is most worrying.
These are not then or should be Soldiers in my opinion.

[smudgie]

So, they have worked out who it was, where it was etc, but nobody seems to realise that all the soldiers were firing straight ahead, yet only one picture of Corbyn, therefore only one soldier was using his picture for target practice.
Or would that not make such big news.

[Kazanne]

The broadcasting of it was stupid,I don't think the soldiers should be sacked,as someone said they play pranks all the time,they may be killed fighting for us in the future so to get all hett up over a picture being shot at is a tad over the top imo, wasn't it Corbyn who wanted to do away with the army ? Plus if it was Trump I doubt many would be moaning,people were happy to humiliate him, no one is dead,It was done the other week to the Isis girl who wanted to come back,a pic of her was used, and people were also pretty vocal when Margaret Thatcher died and used pics of her.

They threw parties! And that was absolutely fine with everyone on the left.

Of course Livia,plus we have a soldier (well an old man now) doing time for doing his duty while others murderers were set free,probably a reason they used a pic of the sympathiser.

I'd like to see who else they've used for target practise, because there would have been a lot of others spattered with paint. What a bloody fool thing to do though, put it on the web.

Yes,that was a foolish move, I wonder if it was done as a laugh or out of malice? Wish I could have had a shot

I wouldn't like to see any other person they used as a target.
Use a faceless target.

The fact they had it filmed and have the target revealed too.
Doesn't inspire me with confidence as to them being the Queen's servicemen at all.

You stated if it was Rees-Mogg possibly others may not bat an eyelid at that.

Just to say, you weren't inferring me in that I know but I certainly wouldn't.
Just as I didn't even like in any way when he and his children were accosted by an idiot..

You can be fired for getting up to mischief in your work uniform, so I don't see why the soldiers shouldn't be discharged for doing this. When you wear the uniform, you are representing the forces. Every soldier should know to respect the uniform.

Such as if a Doctor pretended to be suffocating someone's loved one.
He'd be out on his or her ear.

I agree, to even do this out of uniform would be bad, to do so and film it in uniform.
A disgrace, and that's what they've brought to the service they are in.
