“It is based on allegations that Marines killed 24 Iraqis - including women and children - during a 2005 rampage in that Iraqi city.”

They need to make sure this is not shown as fact.

“He had some combat experience in Iraq, and he and the other guys that were in the military give it a little credence as far as reality is concerned,” said Gordon McLaren, Andrew’s father and a Vietnam War veteran. “They’ve all been there. They’ve all seen it.”

“For his service, he received the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal, according to his honorable discharge papers.”

No CAR? He ain’t BEEN there, and he didn’t get the T-shirt.

“He also served in Iraq, hunting for improvised explosive devices on the streets of Baghdad and helping to train members of the Iraqi army.”

“McLaren returned from Iraq in 2005, but he soon went back to the war zone as an employee of the Blackwater USA private security firm. He said he earned top dollar guarding senators and Bush administration officials and even the president on one occasion.”

EOD trained personel doing high value security work, call me a sceptic but I need more proof.
