Three British soldiers killed by rogue Afghan soldier
13th July 2010
A rogue Afghan soldier shot dead a British colleague in his sleeping quarters before killing two more by firing a rocket-propelled grenade into a control room.
This is exactly the sort of situation that the British Army spent two centuries coping with prior to World War II. Unfortunately, the modern British soldier isn’t just some yob swept up off the street and drilled rigid, but a highly-trained specialist who is more talented to start with and represents a significant investment in time and money.
