In case you don't know, they are getting special treatment. No one is in jail. There is a reason for that. That's because they are their country's soldiers. My point is simple & has remained so right from the beginning. We set a dangerous precedent for our own soldiers while damaging relations with a friendly country. Italy doesn't start & end with Sonia Gandhi. This should never have been allowed to drag on for this long.
1) They were not working as their country's soldiers at the time - they were privately contracted armed guards for a private shipping company. In other words, hired muscle. If they were soldiers, it would be an act of war.
2) Our soldiers are not going to mindlessly shoot fishermen in the Mediterranean sea or elsewhere. The only instances in which they may shoot fishermen would be near India's territorial waters, from a coast guard ship. The only instances in which they may shoot anybody suspected of being pirates would be from an Indian naval ship, and only after every precaution is exhausted. I think our soldiers are pretty safe. (BTW, good luck to anybody trying to arrest IN personnel from an Indian warship.)
3) True that it shouldn't drag on for so long - but then, our courts have always been notoriously slow, even to our own citizens. After the dirty tricks that the Italians tried to play, I don't think our courts are in any mood to expedite the legal process for their sake.
The only contentious issue is one of jurisdiction - where the incident happened, and whether that spot was within our jurisdiction. Both parties have contradicting positions on that, and that is up to the courts to determine. Apart from that, it was a reckless act of murder.
They are heroes who defended our oil tanker
Defended your tanker from fishing boats? Not heroes, just drunk and idiotic gunmen. Maybe that's the sort of person you hero worship, because of your mafia culture. Not the rest of the world.
They acted professional and took out a danger for the ship. They are regarded heroes and thats what they are.
They acted unprofessionally (unless their profession was the mafia), and they were incompetent, bungling maniacs who deserve to be in jail. And that is where they will end up.
As i said one is already home and the other will follow. We wont allow a country without toilets to harass our military and pride.
Not even your prime minister can keep up such idiotic promises, as we learnt. So you expect us to take your promises seriously? LOL.
The two marines have already left your military prideless, by their actions.
EU blocked india free trade talks and relations are on the ground right now.
As I said before, those two drunks are not even worth Italy to break relations. EU doesn't care if they rot in Tihar jail. This is as risible as your previous "threat" of NATO waging war for the sake of your two drunk idiots.
Your military couldnt even defeat pakistan and you live in mass poverty.
Actually we did defeat Pakistan every time, and guess what? Italy cannot even wage war against Pakistan, as I pointed out before. India id way above your weight class. You cannot enter the Indian ocean with hostile intent, without being eviscerated. Unless you ride on the coattails of NATO (read USA), you do not exist as a military power.
come back when you have your rape issues under control.
Italy's per capita rape is six times higher than ours. LOL. You just don't realize it because you are safe from being raped, with that inbred look you have. Even rapists have some standard.
We have one marine already home and other will follow. Thats last thing i say here about this nonsense.
That's the last thing your ex PM said, before he had to eat humble pie and send back the drunks. He became the ex PM because he made unfulfillable promises. But then an internet warrior has no accountability.
Your incompetent and crappy marines murdered - and they will pay the price.
No one is interested in what you think about a 'court' or not. Your job is OBEDIENCE. Stop dicking around and do as you're told.
That's what these state police constables are telling them:
"Get into your cage like a good boy!"
"Weekly shower time is over, back to your cell, boys!"
"No more potty time, back to your cell!"
As for
@MarkusS ' lie earlier that they never spent any time in an Indian jail:
"Who let the dogs out..."
So much for his boasts about his military's pride and honour - knowing nothing about the judicious use of force, shooting unarmed fishermen, and then being caged and bossed around by state police constables - that's how much honour they have, and that itself is way more than they deserve.
What about this pic,
@MarkusS ? Flatly contradicting your earlier lie that they did not spend a day in any Indian jail. And do enjoy the high honour and dignity of your drunk marines. Can't fight a war even against 3rd world countries, and have to get medals by shooting fishermen (as you claim yourself.)
