I'm not saying that British troops may not do something similar sometimes, but I believe that they are much more professional than "we got really excited and decided to blow **** up" like the chap in the video was describing.
Well, I feel i have to respond to that. I've seen some disturbing footage of british soldiers in (I think) Basra on the Dutch TV. (Maybe that wasn't shown in Engeland)

I just want to point out that in war time everybody reacts different then he would when he is at home BBQ-ing.

Doens't matter if their American, British or Dutch
