Guardsman killed Iraqi after sex.

Merida was sentenced Sept. 25 to 25 years in prison and reduced in rank. He will be dishonorably discharged.

In 2029 he can begin his Presidential campaign.

Sorry, I don't read the Sun, and I don't consider this bashing, but just a statement of opinion.

"Being gay doesn't cause people to kill"

Not, at least, any more than schizophrenia or any other mental disorder does.

There's a lot of violence in SSAD enclaves.

Disordered people do disordered things.

[N. Beaujon]

They should dishonorably discharge him there in Iraq, then turn him loose and let the Iraqis deal with him. If they follow their old law, something will get cut off.

Totally agree.

[68 grunt]

You're absolutely, positively correct in your appraisal.

[MinuteGal]

Homosexual motives aside, twenty-five years for this horrible premeditated murder is totally too lenient. He'll probably be out in less than ten.

Sounds like a politically-correct sentence to me in several ways.

Don't ask. Just shoot.

[izzatzo]

NO, my analysis is not a disgrace, the acts of this guardsman are a disgrace to his country and uniform.

[steve8714]

Don't ask- don't tell- don't shoot.

[68 grunt]

SSAD? Did you make that up? Quite creative! Good acronym.

[dsc]

"SSAD? Did you make that up?"

Nope, can't take credit. It's been around for several years, at least.

[HMFIC]

DISGUSTING!

1. Line up two columns of soldiers.

2. Issue stout hickory sticks to all.

3. Have the gay pervert run the gauntlet.

4. IF, and I mean IF he survives it, punish the troops. If he dies, give them extended liberty.

ANOTHER Bubba Klintoon legacy for the history books.

I meant that, in the article, there was no attempt to fault the military, that it was simply reported without smear.

[N. Beaujon]

"the root problem is homosexuality." Oh really? I don't see how you reach that conclusion. Being gay doesn't cause people to kill - Someone shoots somebody, and immediately you start focusing on sexuality - Sheesh!

Yep. Doesnt explain those honor killings, Uday and Qusay's rape rooms, the filthy pig female soldier at abu graib, the Green River killer, Richard Ramirez, et al, etc. Homosexuality is the root of all evil? Puleese. Thank you for a voice of sanity in what was otherwise a stream of completely shameful and dim witted posts.

Your right the root problem is being a homosexual.

No NORMAL straight guy, has "censentual sex" which I doubt was consentual with this boy. In his rage, because it probably was NOT consentual his next move was to unleash his core hatred of who he is, a homosexual:

"The boy was hit by 11 bullets."

A BOY, probably attractive ... they like YOUTH was literally hailed with bullets. One or two bullets would have done the job but this creep went over the top with 11 bullets.

Get these thugs OUT of the MILITARY.

It’s a military court sentence. I think that means he’ll serve every minute of it.

Izzatzo this didn't happen in Viet Nam. Men were men in those days. Now we have males pretending to be females and other assorted fairies out there requiring respect and equality to what is normal even though they are far from normal. It's a disgrace.

[nmh]

The point is the victim was a YOUNG MALE who before he was hailed with 11 bullets was REQUIRED to have sex with this creep. You cannot equate a heterosexual relationship with a homosexual relationship. Homosexuals are NOT normal. At least a heterosexual that rapes a woman knows what gender makes sense. Homos are so deep in denial they can't figure that out. Homosexuals are emotionally disturbed on MANY levels.

[izzatzo]

Yes, well, look at the bright side-at least, at FR there is at least a minimum of "diversity" of opinion.

[madprof98]

It sounds to me like this US "soldier" committed an act of rape on an Iraqi minor and then, in an act of self loathing or whatever (fear of being ratted out?), killed the kid to cover up his crime.

Sounds more plausible than any of the killer's three stories.
