Where's the outcry from all those people who are soo concerned with the Geneva convention and the treatment of POWs?
Silly question, I know. They are not interested in those issues when it concerns an American.

God bless the man. May we keep him and the others in our hearts this Memorial Weekend.
So, does this mean that for the next month we will be bombarded by pictures of Sargent Walters on our TVs and detailed descriptions of mistreatment of POWs by Fedayeen?
Come on CNNABCNBCCBSMSNBCFOX, where is the outrage?

Those are the same people who found it unbelievable that Iraqis would rape prisoners like Jessica Lynch.

God Bless our service men and women!
Does an intrepid FReeper know the number of Allied military and civilian men and women who have been murdered by Iraqi thugs after being captured?
Not to mention FRiendly Iraqis who have been murdered by "suicide" bombers and the like.

"Executed" with two in the back from 20+ feet away??
Balderdash. This SOLDIER fought as long as he had anything to fight with, unlike the vast majority of his sorry-ass unit, including his incompetent Commander. IF he were captured, which I doubt, he would have taken the first opportunity to escape, as was his duty.
Two in the back from 20+ feet sounds like either the end of his lone stand when a bad guy got behind him or an unsuccessful escape attempt.
This soldier makes me proud as a blue-striped bantam rooster that my Army DOES still produce SOLDIERS.

The killing is being investigated as a war crime
But it won't get the press that Abu Ghraib is getting because it happened to an American soldier.

Your right. I've been saying the same thing forever. Diplomacy was over on September 11th.
