Five members of the UK's Special Air Service (SAS) have been arrested by British military police on suspicion of committing war crimes during operations in Syria two years ago. The allegations involve the death of a suspected jihadist, with claims of excessive force being used. These arrests have sparked a broader investigation into potential war crimes by British forces in Syria, raising questions about the oversight and accountability of UK military operations abroad. The soldiers involved could face murder charges, pending the outcome of the investigation, which is expected to take up to a year. This situation has ignited a debate over the treatment of soldiers by military brass and the ethical implications of UK's involvement in Syria.
