Don't Ask.

Don't Tell.

Don't Kill, either!

"He is being held at Fort Leavenworth"

25 years to have all the homosexual encounters his little heart desires.

[DoughtyOne]

Army officials at Forward Operating Base Danger, where the court-martial was held in Iraq, had previously withheld details of the case.

That's it, let's cover for the sick bastard. Reduced in rank? Shoot this peckerhead at dawn.

"I don't want relationship
"I just want BANG BANG BANG!!!"

[cynicom]

Have to fill the ranks with what they can get.

Where's the 24/7 Abu Grabass coverage by PravdaABDNC????Oh that's right homosexuals never do anything wrong!

Pray for W and Merry Christmas Troops

Does this death count in the data that the actuaries use in determining homosexual life spans for insurance purposes?

I would like 5 minutes alone in a locked room with this fine young example of a soldier. It would take DNA and dental records to identify him when I was through with him.

How dare this pathetic little bastard undo all the hard work and sacrifice we put into this country for the last 20 months. I hate this kid as much or worse than Brandon Hughey and Jeremy Hinzman.

Considering the article's content, you might want to put that another way. LOL

Why do I have the feeling that if he killed the Iraq soldier without having sex with him, people here would be demanding he be released, instead of offering to execite him themselves?

[26lemoncharlie]

I think he should have to drive ahead of the convoys and look for IED's >> Why waste a brain and a life?

[bushisdamanin04]

Geez, I've had some bad sex [never my fault! :)], but not that bad! :)

Court-Martial Records Link Killing to Sex

44 minutes ago

RALEIGH, N.C. - A National Guardsman who pleaded guilty to killing a 17-year-old Iraqi soldier said he shot the young man after they had consensual sex in a guard tower, a newspaper reported Saturday, citing court-martial records.

Pvt. Federico Daniel Merida, 21, pleaded guilty to murder without premeditation and other charges during a court-martial in Iraq (news - web sites) in September.

Merida was sentenced Sept. 25 to 25 years in prison and reduced in rank and will be dishonorably discharged. He is being held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., a Leavenworth spokeswoman said.

Army officials at Forward Operating Base Danger, where the court-martial was held in Iraq, had previously withheld details of the case.

However, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday that records show Merida and the Iraqi were on guard duty May 11 in a tower on the perimeter of an Army camp near Tikrit in northern Iraq. At about 10:30 p.m., Merida shot the teen 11 times with his carbine.

Merida first told investigators the teen demanded money at gunpoint. Later, he said he killed the boy because he forced him to have sex. In a third interview, Merida said he got angry after the two had consensual sex.

Merida also pleaded guilty to two counts of giving false statements.

Merida apologized to the victim's family during the court-martial, records show. "He was a son, a brother, someone very important to them," he said. "I took someone they loved and cared for."

Merida, who was born in Veracruz, Mexico, has a wife and toddler son.

He was a member of the 113th Field Artillery Battalion's Battery B, based in Monroe.

Sounds like it was a crappy deal any way you look at it. Crappy and bloody.

Uhm, cause you're a newbie troll?

[rodguy911]

THe only saving grace of this story is that it will never see the light of day. The perp was a former mexicon and he was gay, both protected by the msm at any or all costs.

No - check out his forum postings. DarkWolf is one of us, and has posted lots of good articles.

So, he's a homosexual that forced the guy to have sex with him and then killed him?

Yuk!
