I'm confused. This is a story about war crimes, not local councils? Are you saying your binman or librarian will shoot you?

  The SAS is being sloppy with the rules because the entire candidate pool for that organization exists in a reality where it's considered tacitly ok to be sloppy with the rules when it's the "bad guys" and that's just how every big organization, every government entity acts. And so they're tasked with running an organization and they unsurprisingly wind up with the same problem. This is a cultural problem with British culture. Just nobody notices until it's the SAS doing it and the bodies stack up

    I don’t think you can draw a straight line between your local councillor’s bad attitude and the special forces executing foreigners without warrant. They’re just not comparable in any way, literal or metaphorical.

      I think I can draw a pretty straight line between a prevailing culture that's unable to root out bad behavior by its individual cogs in mundane issues, and one that's similarly unable in serious issues. The SAS with it's inability to reign in its own cogs suffers from all the same problems as any other organization.

  GP's claim is that rule-breaking is done by state institutions routinely and is part of the organisational culture. And that we turn a blind eye to it until there are deaths.
