- In WW2 bombs and cannon were indiscriminate and lethal but they made the enemy surrender. If Allies had said we know the enemy is in France but we can''t go there because they are a sovereign nation (RE Pakistan) then we would still be fighting Germany or would have capitulated ourselves. War is terrible, but if you are going to do it make it no holds barred. Police actions AKA Vietnam are a joke and a waste of life.

- There is no difference between us and those we call barbaric. We kill or facilitate killing, cover it up or lie about it and when caught red-handed -justify it.
You do not shoot unarmed prisoners. You are responsible for their safety so long as they are under your control. - Reply to this comment
- The only people that criticize this killing are those who fail to realize what war is, and always has been about: killing as much of the enemy as possible, no matter what, and doing so until complete victory. It is the US''''''''s failure to completely embrace this mentality that has kept us in Iraq and Afghanistan for 6 years, instead of the 2-3 it could have taken if we had a few Patton-style generals.

I could not have said it better myself!! We just need to declare everyone who has an olive complexion and dark hair the enemy in Iraq and start shooting till not a soul is standing, pretty simple really!
I DONT CARE who is a SHIA and WHO IS A SUNNI, KURD or CHRISTIAN, JUST kill THEM all! IT is the only way TO ensure victory in the war AGAINST TERROR!!

Chilling posts akin to a Charlie Manson-like philosophy of kill, kill, kill.
Just when you think the human race might rise above our barbaric, animalistic past, we''re reminded yet again of just how savagely inhuman humans can be. - Reply to this comment

This country and military has gone very soft since the WW2 days, and that''s a fact. We insist on fighting wars with one hand tied behind our backs, and then we think we have the right to moan, whine, criticize, and second-guess when it takes too long and our forces get too stretched. Want to win faster? To not get stretched too thin? To get the troops home faster? To even save US lives? Then, untie the other hand, get brutal, and unleash he*ll on the other side. 24/7. Anything it takes. Otherwise, just shut the f*ck up and lets grind on in the ineffective and pansy style we have been using the last 20 years. You can%u2019t have it both ways. Case closed.

- The US Army was a party to this? The truth about this needs to come out sooner rather than later. Makes you wonder what else they have stood by and watched their allies do. I am a VET and I would have shot the Koreans soldiers killing these people. Mass murder is and never will be "justified".
My family fought in WW1 - WW2 - Viet Nam and even the Spanish American War...I am so glad none of us fought in Korea. - Reply to this comment
- It was how things were done back then. Too bad we can''t do that to a few now! This was normal behavior in those countries. No one had the resources to guard these prisoners or feed them, so they shot them. Russia did this for years, and so did North Korea. Of course if we aren''t careful it could happen here.

- We push the Native Americans off their home land and declare to the world we are the good guys. We send troops to free the Philippines and essentially enslave them. We essentially save the world in two great wars and it could be said we ARE the good guys. Then we go back to turning a blind eye or stepping in if it suits us, regardless of how many millions die or are have their lives ruined.
But since we give away gadgets and chocolate bars, we''re still the good guys?? - Reply to this comment
- Who cares what the AP says! so what they were killed 68 years ago, they could have collaborated with the commie ***, you have to do what you have to do to survive, moronic AP is nothing but a bunch of freedom hating liberal homosexuals and puss grinders.

If someone else commits atrocities, they''re "evil" and we have to confront them, because we''re the good guys. When the US does it, it''s okay.

- Every society since the creation of man has done horrible things. Every noble country has done horrible things. No one, no society, no country is exempt.
The way forward is truth or we are doomed to repeat again and again. The truth of this incident must serve as the impetus to cleanse, seek reconciliation and move on. These are goals the USA often seeks of others, but seldom embraces. America must embrace these goals and seek forgiveness for their actions. - Reply to this comment
