It sounds like there were a number of personnel involved.

And they did it without the knowledge of any sergeants or officers?

Or the sergeants and officers were in on the plan?

And nobody blew the whistle before, during or after the event? And they repeated an attack?

I call baloney. This whole thing presents a very low view of the integrity of the forces and its command structure. Too low.

Got some info back in June this guy, Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs, wanted to do things like Kurtz in Apocalypse now. Way out of control. So there is a good possibility some of it is true.

On the one hand I could care less. And yes, I am a blood thirsty barbarian.

On the other,and strictly my opinion, crap like this is bound to happen in an overly prolonged PC mess that should have started with us sending 50,000 troops after Bin Laden & Associates . Into Pakistan if necessary. No detour to Iraq. Destroy the Taliban/AQ and leave.

Maybe it is time to do the McChrystal Strategy.

Get the F$$$ out of Dodge.

The father of one of those accused TRIED to blow the whistle, there are e-mails and chats that took place only days after the 1 attack.
