Massey, of North Carolina, says he witnessed Marines shoot unarmed civilians at road checkpoints during the onset of the Iraq War in 2003. He says the acts amount to war crimes.

As far as I'm concerned - As an NCO, he had an obligation to stop it or, at a bare minimum, report it. I wonder if he did either.

I agree with you 100%.

There are people who want the US Military to be the Nazis of the 21st century, mindless psychopaths inured to violence and willingly and cheerfully doling it out on "orders". That is their view, and this guy is their tool to validate it.

I wasn't there, but without proof or witnesses, I don't buy a word of it. This guy is another John Kerry.

If these things were true, this guy would be at fault. He was supposed to be a leader. If this stuff happened, it is a dramatic breakdown in discipline, and it would have been HIS MAIN JOB TO PROVIDE THAT DISCIPLINE.

If he was in charge of the unit, he should have been court martialed if civilians were murdered. Interesting if the Sarge kept his mouth shut until he got his honorable.Did he report the incident up the chain of command, to a chaplain or the IG when, or after it supposedly happened?
