Maybe not as bad, but the Marines probably have the same problem.
Vocabulary not quite right. Where would they have gotten flammable material to burn the body?
Just something not fitting here.
Suskind is not to be believed on any count. Not one precent of his words can be taken as truth. Just my opinion. He hates this President and everyone in his administration.
Since when is an AK-47 a "submachine gun"?
He did have the crowd at Politics & Prose Bookstore (enemy territory in NW DC) collectively peeing down their legs. Very entertaining fellow though. A poetic chap.
You had better come up with better facts than that. I have seen articles that say she was 15, 20 and 25 and don't imply I have traits like those who have called her a whore or have said her own family killed her.
I call some of the media liars which is probably too strong a term but there have been retractions made and it is evident to me that much of the media are anti military.
I have not called you or anyone else unpatriotic that seem to take the side of the media and are too quick to deny the presumption of innocence.
I think this situation may well to turn out to be horrible as it sounds. The witnesses here don't seem to come from a suspect "human rights" group as in Haditha. Instead it looks like other soldiers came forward. And the Army had already gotten rid of the one person who's been arrested for "personality disorder" which sounds like code for out-of-control psycho. The four Iraqis who were terrorized here, the young woman raped and the whole family killed (per the reporting) deserve justice and I hope they get it. I'm fairly sure pretty much everyone wearing an American uniform in Iraq right now would agree.
His book signings for the O'Neill book were quite enlightening. He hates the President and has no respect for him or anyone in this administration.
Does he get a trial first, or do we assume that whatever Al Jazeera says is the gospel truth?
They've got 8 of them locked in the Camp Pendleton brig being charged with similar actions even as we speak.
Um, siphoned gas from a jeep?
I'm more troubled (either way) that if 4 or 5 knew about this, it hasn't come out earlier. On the one hand, that makes the story seem a little fishy. (No sense of right in any of them?) But if they did keep it a secret, well, that's troubling too. (No sense of right in any of them?)Many unknowns, I'm sure it'll all come out...
Yes, of course. Trial and if he's found guilty, string him up..
I heard a news report on the radio today that he has admitted killing all four and one of his buddies witnessed the rape. If all true, give him to the people in that village
I'll wait for the facts, but will not excuse under any circumstances this type of activity if true.
I would normally think that this guy would be reactivated to face UCMJ charges. Is this federal proceeding normal or would his discharge for this personality disorder prohibit that.
Sounds like a death penalty case to me....personality disorder ain't going to cut it....
Having discharged a few for that...It basically means non-conformist screw-up. Pain in the ass... ten percenter. It is a dsm-(whatever) psychiatric diagnosis.
