Crooked Soldiers Admit Stealing SAS Kit
Three British Army soldiers are facing jail after admitting to stealing more than £44,000 of equipment from the SAS before selling it on to buyers in the Far East.
Stores managers Craig Davenport and Stephen Suffield, both non-commissioned officers (NCOs), took kit including silencers, stun grenades, and flare launchers, before handing it to Andrew Stevens, a 41-year-old who had contacts in Asia, according to the Sun.
Davenport, 33, was receiving praise as recently as April for his work as a forces football referee.

The SAS has a list of British ISIS fighters and their job is to take them out to prevent their return to the UK.Maybe this is a tactic to get them to surrender to Iraqi forces. :camo:

British soldier will not be charged over 'friendly fire' death of comrade in Afghanistan
A British soldier will not face prosecution over the death of a comrade on an Afghan battlefield four years ago, an inquest has heard.
The inquest into Lance Corporal James Brynin's death was halted after six days of evidence last year amid fears the fatality, which was initially suspected to have been caused by "friendly fire", may have been a homicide.
L/Cpl Brynin, 22, who was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, was shot dead on an operation in central Helmand Province on October 15 2013.
