You can make a defense for killing civilians in a war zone in a fit of combat induced rage. Killing is a part of war, men can get caught up in that. In this case though, even that defense doesn’t hold up well. Then there is the matter of rape. Rape has nothing to do with combat. He should have been tried and hung swiftly while still in country. The Iraqi family should have been invited to watch.
“The Iraqi family should have been invited to watch.”
They wouldn’t have seen much.....he had already killed them.
