Ayoung soldier dies in Iraq due to the sole reason of lack of rehydrant fluids which are part of basic kit for warm climates.He ultimately has the responsibility[although we all know it is incompetent civil servants]with the duty of care to his employees i.e. the army.

remember this is a provable single case and single cases set precedents.

I am sorry for people dying during war. But i am sick of soldiers families (i.e. rose gentles) going on about the illegal war - if you didnt want your son to fight in a war you should have stopped him joining the army. I feel for innocent people who die during war not people who pick up a gun and go and fight.

If you do that, then you better go back and file charges against every defense secretary for all the wars. Soldiers died due to lack of supplies in every war and military action. More soldiers died from diseases they got in vietnam than dehydration in Iraq. Shouldn't we go after the secretary at that time for not having proper medical supplies?
You might disagree with this war, but you are trying to find any incident to prosecute. You prosecute over this you need to look back and open up old war cases then as well.

no you do not understand war
war is not fair
you can be killed by freindly fire, and under the fog of combat, that's tragic but allowable
it's no different if you drop a bunker buster bomb to get a deep underneath the earth command bunker but with a civlian structure ( a small house, hotel or shop ) on top of the bunker that is occupied, sure the civies will be killed as will the occupants in the bunker, but that is called non combantant casualties and is very difficult to avoid, it's also tragic and unfair, but then as I said before war is never fair. If a soldier dies of dehydration, then he dies, that's an unfortuantre fact in wartime or even in peacetime where soldier dies in training. People with no militarty background much less experiance are quick to criticize our military, yet thy keep forgetting we have an voluntary military, and anyone who joins is best to be wise you might see combat and prepare accordingly.

Surely his own guilt will haunt him for the rest of his days. He was brainwashed by the DECIDER(HA HA BUSH). you have to be a *** kisser in a republican government to survive. He was just a pawn for bush to throw the guilt off on to get the attention off his self when the crap got thick.All our soldiers (god bless them) are being used so Bush can be in the history books. If he was really concerend about them he would have waited for help from the U.N.

Well, there are a lot of people down the line who should get cuffed as well, like his immediate commanding officer

Its not down to the secretary of state to take the rap for this it is surely down to his boss Tony Blair.

No, the Senator who voted for the war and then against funding it would be a better choice. He told them to do better in school or they get "stuck in Iraq"!

The SS would be liable in tort but I think they're too remote for causation in criminal law.
