All our heroes are dead or corrupt.
If we're to go by the diary of a soldier from the months after the beginning of the occupation of Iraq, Harry doesn't so much have the insurgents chopping his ears off to look forward to, but rather the intense pleasure of throwing "Ali Babas" into the Shat al Arab, killing two others and getting a beer as a reward, battering an Iraqi who threw a punch from head to toe, beating up more "Ali Babas" with sticks while filming it and finally referring to the death of a man who they tortured as "what a shame".
This was of course what the Sun referred to as a "so-called crime". Truly, these men are heroes.
