British soldiers beating Iraqi children.
I no longer have any respect for, or support for the armed forces of Britain and the US in Iraq.

As far as the visuals go, clearly these "kids" were throwing rocks at the soldiers at the start of the vid. That doesn't justify the way they're treated, but I'm thinking if you threw rocks at cops in pretty much any country you're gonna get to feel the billy club a few times for good measure. Not saying its right, just saying that's the way it is when you antagonize law enforcement. In other words, I'm not exactly surprised or shocked by what I'm seeing here, although the kick to the nuts was truly uncalled for and that soldier most certainly deserves censure.
As far as i remember this video was shown on news outlets and an uproar/inquiry began. It was then found that although they're beating the locals, something had happened even before the throwing of the rocks and stuff, and because of that the soldiers were deemed to be in the right.
Either was i support the British army out there. I don't agree with why any of it started, but all credit to the lads out there. They're doing their job and doing it properly.

Also, nice generalizations... hate the many for the actions of the few. Good stuff.
