Afghan soldier 'disloyal' to British Crown labeled 'turncoat'

In brief
An Afghan soldier killed three British soldiers during the night in southern Afghanistan on July 13. The soldier, labeled as a turncoat and a betrayer by the Western media and government officials, appeared to be a militant opposing the occupation of Afghanistan by British and American military forces.
This is the second instance of an Afghan soldier killing British troops in the last year. The first time this occurred was in November when a member of the Afghan police force killed British soldiers at a checkpoint.
Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, sent a letter of apology to British government officials. He vowed to find the attacker and prosecute him. British Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the killing but insisted that the military still work with the Afghan army.
British and American military officials ignore the mass killing of Afghan civilians , yet an Afghan fighting for his countrys self-determination is a turncoat for not being loyal to imperialism? This event highlights the hypocrisy of occupation.
