"Yes, unfortunately, in any large group of people, you are going to get a certain percentage of psychotic whackos and those groups include the armed forces.

LOL
You are LAUGHABLE!

The MILITARY IS A MURDERING MACHINE!

These psychos did EXACTLY what they were trained to do in the military -- MURDER PEOPLE!

Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been slaughtered so far.
It''s ALL MURDER, MASS MURDER by your "armed forces"! EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!

So stop pretending that some murder are other than what has been going on since the beginning ''shock and awe'' of the UNPROVOKED invasion!

===I agree, except for the four jack offs who raped
and murdered the 14 year old girl, set her body on fire and then killed her family. Before they did they
got drunk and planedthe crime===

Yes, unfortunately, in any large group of people, you are going to get a certain percentage of psychotic whackos and those groups include the armed forces. It doesn''t help that the military had to lower standards, including criminals, to satisfy Bush''s blood lust. It just opens the door wider for letting those unbalanced people in.

Re: "The soldier who allegedly brought to light what occurred in this "baiting killings" is still in Iraq in his Unit. Other soldiers do not know all the facts and blame him for all the problems. He has asked for a transfer but is being denied by his commander/supervisor. What the Army wants is for another soldier to "waste him". The commanders and superior officer should be held accountable if something like this happens."

Good analysis, and an important point.

===wow, if killing women and children in Iraq is "all that you can be", if this is the kind of strength the military has to offer than I guess I would never want to be that.===

Make no mistake. The fault for these kinds of attrocities is 100% Bush''s and the neocons who put the soldiers there. You cannot expect a human being to live in a constant state where your life is in danger, always looking over your shoulder, do it for fifteen months, then keep going back on multiple tours, and not lose it at some point. Most guys handle it, some lose it, and all are affected in some way for life. It''s very easy to condemn a soldier for following an unlawful order, but they are victims just as much as the Iraqi victims are. A victim of a corrupt government that refuses to provide any kind of relief for these soldiers. They deny them proper rest and training after deployments and, after they get back, skimp on VA services. I''m surprised we don;t see more stories of this type after what the Bush administration has done to a generation of soldiers.

You would have to be very strong to shoot unarmed men , women and children. I don''t support the troops, they dishonor and disgrace our country just like our president and his party.

Tool,,, What gets to me is Bush sitting smugly behind his desk beliveing he''s done something devine going into the 5th year of the biggest catrastophe to our nation in it''s history ---- A war that didn''t have to be fought,,, Saddam Hussein was in the process of surrender.

[toolmangler-2009]

It especially bothers me when people suggest that that this leap is based on faith. Fear mongering and faith based actions of love and respect for humanity are diametrically opposite one another.

With respect, You must realize that the Radical Islamics are using the same exact reasoning to kill and murder from their side of this conflict. It is their faith that they are doing ''Allahs'' will and are to be rewarded that spurs the fury with which they fight. They see themselves as the Muslim equalivilant of ''Christian Crusaders (cross bearers) for god''. The belief that you are empowered by a Supreme being is based by faith on that which we (they) perceive to be true.
