Judging from reports this was not a case of civilians caught in the crossfire. This was a case where the marines went into houses and shot unarmed people. Men, women, and children who posed no threat to them whatsoever. If the official Marine investigation determines that this is, in fact, what happened then every man involved should be charged with multiple counts of murder. If convicted then I believe the sentence is death, and should be death. And that would be what they deserve. Regardless of the provocation you do not go around shooting unarmed civilians that pose no threat to you. It is against every rule of law that I'm aware of. These are supposed to be disciplined troops, not an armed mob. They know better, and if they did what they're accused of doing then they should pay the penalty for their deeds.
With respect....did you read my post??
I said in the post...that I wasn't discussing the incident that this thread is about..
I was just listing some of the tactics that are used...that the Marines are aware of...and have to worry about 24/7.
I don't know what happened that day..and YOU don't know what happened.
