Can the British Army investigate itself?

Question

More and more frequently, the British Army is subject to investigation for various reasons. From a fatal shooting of a terrorist to a basic theft, however it is the Army itself that does the investigating. Should this be the case?

Answer 1

who care they wont

Answer 2

As an ex soldier, I can say yes the army does investigate itself if it is an offence commited under Army law. any offence in the army which is serious enough is investigated by the army provost corps. this is the equivelent of scotland yard in civvy street.They are top class investigators. Army justice is very fair.
