The former US marine who left the body of his girlfriend in a car boot at Gatwick Airport springs to mind Jim. British Jurisprudence got him back here to face "British Justice" The fact that he wasn't topped is another matter.

Spot on Jim.
I was serving during the American debacle that was Vietnam and I can tell you on behalf of thousands and thousands of British service men that our "Arold" did us proud when he refused to commit one British soldier to the American fuckup that was Vietnam. The fact that Australia and New Zealand decided on their own to get involved was entirely their affair and we told them so. All of the Aussies and Kiwis who I met in Borneo and Malaya were happy to serve their country against communism. Bunch of idiots, all. The Japs couldn't manage to get to them so how the fuck did they think the Viets were going to get to them? That was what we asked them and none could answer it.
Well done "Arold"

I have it from a legal friend that he was as guilty as "Sin" and that is why he was sent to Americy. No matter what the press may print, at the end of the day it is "News" and that is what sells newspapers. No media is interested in the truth. Truth is not good at selling newspapers.

I was at school in Australia during "Nam" and to this day I remember the crazed nutter, priests that were in charge imploring us to do "God's work" and join the army to go and kill Commies! I just remember my friends and I trying to find out how we could join the Viet Cong and kill priests instead!
Luckily for us we were British subjects and managed to escape back to the UK before we were drafted to go and die for Uncle Sam!
