Maybe we should track down all the guys who dropped bombs on Dresden and charge them with pre-meditated murder?
Don't forget the fire-bombing over Japan.
More from the article....
....."The charges against Sandoval, Hensley and a third sniper, Sgt. Evan Vela, have caused some of their sniper scout platoon's shootings to be questioned, as well.
"I just came to a unit, Delaware, that they will not pull the trigger on people," said Sgt. Andrew G. Murphy III, according to transcripts of a Baghdad court hearing. "Now they're like, 'What's going to happen if?' And I'm like, 'I don't know; I can't tell you. If you feel threatened, take the shot, and I hope, I pray, that your command takes your back, because you have split and milliseconds to make decisions like this.' " ".....

I pray, that your command takes your back
Our troops are living with betrayal. This is a national disgrace and an historic military abomination.

You know what just hit me.
They’re accusing these troops of being no different than the Beltway Snipers, John Muhammed & Lee Malvo. They’re saying that these troops just go out and pop Iraqis hugging their kids, working in fields, and minding their own business. They’re calling them premeditated murderers.
That’s a despicable accusation about these troops who have tons of support letters from teachers, preachers, fellow students, community leaders, and neighbors from back home.
They’re pontificating that these guys had NO BATTLEFIELD reasons for taking out the ones that they shot.
If that’s so, then there should be lots of kids, women, animals, and elderly & infirm also taken out since these troops were in that area. Produce them.
