Regardless of what he did he’s still a casualty of a disastrous, wasteful war.
Would you be that sympathetic to a serial killer who had a less than brilliant childhood? I’m sure every murdering rapist scumbag could find a sob story to excuse what they did.
Regardless of what he did?! He raped and killed a 14 year old child while wearing the uniform of the U.S. military. He wasn’t a casualty of war. He was a POS.
IBTZ.
I hear that.
I disagree- He was a casualty of his own flawed morality. The conflict that he was engaged in didn’t cause him to rape that girl, or murder the family.
“Regardless of what he did he’s still a casualty of a disastrous, wasteful war.”
I hate it when people strive to excuse rape, it’s because of poverty, or stress, it’s Bush’s fault, it’s Obama’s fault, she asked for it.
Please, give me a break.
I can see where some ‘abuses’ might be occasioned by the brutality of war, but raping a woman (or girl in this case) - no.
He isn’t a victim, he is the bad guy.
