mutiny
by Antony George on May 10, 2007 07:41 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

when troops of a regiment assasinates, overthrows the commander it is mutiny. it was our first war of indipendence, but as far as the british and military protocol is considered when subordinates turn against their commanders it is nothing less than mutiny and the only punishment is death.

All over the world the tyrant will call the freedom seeker as Mutinious or the rebel.When in the history of the world those who ruled by brute force call opponents any other name?
Let us be straight- British were not here to give us Favours and themselves live like hermits.They were suckers outright. It is very good to talk of decipline and peace but do we realixe that This so called Mutiny inspired the Liberation in Bolovia,Latin America and inspired a whole continent to get freedom .
I do not belive that British are right in calling it Mutiny. What would they call their own Upheavals?

whai ii said is what is war for us is mutiny for them, one mans food is another mans poison. there were soldiers, brave. for an empire expansion of the empire is most important, when an empire does that there will be sections who will indeed fight back as we and many others did. remember at one time the british empire was the largest in the world may b rivaled only by thr roman empire, unfortunately both existed during different times, wished they existed during the same time, would have loved to see the romans kick the crap otta britan. as far as the british are concerned their officers were killed by their own troops.
