No foul play here then.....


So, Nicholas Blake, QC, concludes that there is no need for a public enquiry into the deaths of 4 young soldiers at Deepcut. He has instead recommended an inquiry led by an "armed forces ombudsman". Well, considering one of the soldiers had to shoot himself five times to die, and one of the others somehow managed to shoot himslef in the head twice it does seem a tad surprising that no-one thinks any real further investigation is required. One wonders in which world people like Blake, and Adam Ingram, the Armed forces minister serving in this increasingly corrupt and discredited goverment, actually exist. In this weird world that they reside in they seem to think its perfectly feasible to shoot yourself either 5 times in order to die, or twice in your own head. Incredibly Ingram has said the deaths of at least three recruits "were probably self-inflicted". Including those with multiple bullet wounds? Lets also not forget that in no case did any soldier leave any form of suicide note. I know the suicide is not an obligatory condition of people who kill themselves, but it is surely a strange enough coincidence that none of them left one. Or that none was .....ahem....found?

Am I missing something here? Can anyone really explain to me how such a thing would be possible, i.e to shoot your self several times? You can read the profiles on the dead soldiers here and make your own mind up.

Ingram himself says that
the Army would now examine the report's findings to see if any action should be taken for "professional misconduct or negligence".

Good, that'll get to the truth then, won't it? What a relief for the families this will be (sic).
