Do not touch me my skin split

Please do not touch me my skin may split.

 

I have just been reading about two Royal Marines who have been punished for hitting a Taliban suspect with a size ten wellington boot, but this so called person who was in the act of planting a bomb.

 

I am just wondering what planet I am on for gods sake, why not give a reprimand.

 

Question why did the marines who were said to be in the tent not show them selves when a senior officer and NCO came into the tent?

 

If a prisoner is loose not cuffed in a tent what would you think, it was said he was standing what to eat his food,  how far were the marines who were in the said tent from this man, sorry we may not no the whole storey, his injuries were not serious.

If I had just lost three colleagues who were blown up by IED, just think, what this so called Taliban fighter was caught doing.

 

Have we brought to justice anybody who has killed or injured our own service personal, I think you will find that is a big NO.?

What has this so called justice shown to the world, not this cruel justice of loosing a pension and lives destroyed?

 

Question you should be asking was this a political statement to the Americans!

Guess what he was let go by the Afghans and can not be found, what that tells you.

 

Nursing Uniforms.

We have had a lot of press reports of a nurse here in Exeter who has lost her case, in wearing a cross around her neck.

To-day I am reading that Muslims and Sikhs are exempt from the strict dress codes to prevent cross infection, my question WHY.
 

I can't stand to see sloppy dress and any form of jewellery when attending patients.

When attending a patient how that nurses carry out duties like washing a patient when she has her sleeves down, or don't nurses wash patients any more, or carry out other personal duties on patients.

Just think of a patient who is distressed due to their medical condition, then grabs at the nurse and pulls on their chains bangles, what would the hospital do sue the patient for distressing their staff.
