The video was posted on FR a few days ago and the MOD pulled it. It was some lefty website claiming I just saw a US serviceman kill someone in cold blood. I was pissed the mod pulled the thread. It was no big deal. Some dirtbag got what he had coming. The Iraqi was in an enclosed alley and it would have made no sense to send a trooper into a situation where his life would be in peril. Shoot the bastard and get it over with. When the left has a collective testicle drop and grows up enough to realize people get killed in war, I will be long dead.

It is a big deal... if it's true. That (if anything) is what should be focused on. I'd wager that it is not, so I think it is best just to ignore it. But I'm not sure why everyone here is trying to defend these alleged actions.

I have friends and family serving in the military, and trying to justify an American serviceman killing a downed man is quite honestly insulting to them. They are professionals, are men and women over there are better than this. Admittedly it isn't nearly as insulting as faking incidents, which has clearly been done often and quite possibly in this case, but insulting just the same.

I'm sure no one here means to do that... but don't let crap like this alter your view of our military. If this happened (a big big if) it was an isolated incident and it will be handled accordingly.
