“I said I was cool with it. ... I understood at the time that taking care of them would mean that they would end up dead. I didn’t care,” he testified.”
Its callous and idiotic mindsets like that which ensure we win the war but lose the peace. One wonders how many terrorists have been spawned due to his psychopathy.
Read the other 7 posts and see what you think.
What if they knew that they knew that they knew that the insurgents were killers?
D’oh!!!!!!!!!
Eleven. But they're all dead now.
BTW, haven't seen you on the Haditha threads since they started to be exonerated. How come? You only interested in slamming our troops? C'mon, admit it. You had your head up your ass about Haditha. Confession is good for the soul.
I wish you'd have waited a day to post that.
I'd already designated another post as the most ignorant one of the day, and now you've gone and muffed it all up.
BTW, did you catch which uniform the "spawn" is wearing these days?
Be a good lad and go fetch us a picture, will you? We wouldn't want to mistake one of our Iraqi or coalition allies helping us defend Iraq for a spawned terrorist, now would we?
none.... they're dead terrorists. Found in country with weapons, trust me...they were not for hunting.
You have no idea about the mindset of someone that's been in combat and seen friends killed and maimed while bureaucrats determine that actually capturing the killers and letting them go wins the "hearts and minds".
The community sees the murdering terrorist come back into the community even though they were captured by American troops WITH weapons. How many times does the civilian populace have to see that until they refuse to stick they're necks out to identify and turn these maggots in? The mistake was broadcasting the elimination of the enemy. Who knows what kind of pressure JAG put on the guy to testify in order to save his a##. Keep a guy up for a couple of days and slam photos of the dead guys and telling him that "EVERYBODY KNOWS you're guilty, but I'm here to help you" makes tired naive guys flip.
This is the new front on our troops, the legal war. The lawyers and the CO's will show up in 10 years running as "combat vets" for congress under the democrat party banner, with 6 Purple Hearts.... mark my words. Biden's kid is going over as part of the 111th Fighting Briefcases. So he's a shoo-in for elected position after his tour.
