UK Veterans Allege Decade-Long War Crimes by Special Forces in Iraq, Afghanistan

Former members of the British Special Forces have publicly accused their colleagues of committing war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, including killing unarmed detainees and children, executing prisoners in their sleep, and planting weapons to cover up these actions. These allegations, which span over a decade, far exceed the three-year period currently under investigation by a UK public inquiry. Veterans described a 'mob mentality' and 'psychopathic traits' among some soldiers, with killings described as becoming routine and even addictive. The accusations extend to the SAS and, for the first time, the Royal Navy's elite Special Boat Service (SBS). Former Prime Minister David Cameron was reportedly warned about these incidents during his tenure, though his office denies any cover-up. The UK government has encouraged anyone with relevant information to come forward to support the ongoing inquiry.
