I'm not sure how I feel about this. As an Irish person I have no direct stake in this action or decision, but I'd say if this sets a precedents families of soliders killed in combat all over the world are going to be taking cases. Surely a landmark ruling? What do yaz think?

It comes under the UK's obsession with the "Duty of Care" law and in this respect it's aimed at the military not providing soldiers with adequately armoured vehicles. Whilst I see the validity of the debate, the whole thing seems quite bizarre considering those in question are based in a warzone.
