The British army was acting under orders. The people who gave those orders should be up there, not the squaddies.

The odd logic is that, the Army needs to be prosecuted and the terrorists don't.

Yes it does very much. Nice for the Army to hide behind the "just following orders" line though. I'm sure that's a great comfort for the families of those they murdered
