Oh, no surprise that you already convicted them, in your mind. Par for the course.
i was thinking it to be more like william calley
It contains evidence ...A newspaper article is evidence? For real?!?
sorry to burst your balloon but whether you share the Guardians liberal viewpoint or not, it is one of the best papers for accuracy.
If true, sure. Who doesn't agree with that. Is their any purpose to this thread other than making our military look bad? I could find plenty of atrocities commited by European militaries over, say, the last 100 years.US soldiers 'killed Afghan civilians for sport and collected fingers as trophies' | World news | The Guardian
If true, I hope they fry... the are a disgrace to the US military and the US as a whole.

Personally, I think it's most likely far less than 10%, at least if we're speaking of this type of action and the US military.We all have our 10% - no matter what profession you are in

Investigators said Gibbs, 25, hatched a plan with another soldier, Jeremy Morlock, 22, and other members of the unit to form a "kill team". While on patrol over the following months they allegedly killed at least three Afghan civilians. According to the charge sheet, the first target was Gul Mudin, who was killed "by means of throwing a fragmentary grenade at him and shooting him with a rifle", when the patrol entered the village of La Mohammed Kalay in January.
Morlock and another soldier, Andrew Holmes, were on guard at the edge of a poppy field when Mudin emerged and stopped on the other side of a wall from the soldiers. Gibbs allegedly handed Morlock a grenade who armed it and dropped it over the wall next to the Afghan and dived for cover. Holmes, 19, then allegedly fired over the wall.
Later in the day, Morlock is alleged to have told Holmes that the killing was for fun and threatened him if he told anyone.
The second victim, Marach Agha, was shot and killed the following month. Gibbs is alleged to have shot him and placed a Kalashnikov next to the body to justify the killing. In May Mullah Adadhdad was killed after being shot and attacked with a grenade.
They are being charged. They wouldn't be charged if there was absolutely no evidence against them.
These type of people deserve to rot.
Is it possible for you to leave at least a few threads you touch on topic instead of turning them into a "let's see who's the biggest Islamophobe" competition? Thanks in advance.lol...Being charged with a crime doesn't make you guilty - being convicted does.
Muslim terrorists that attack unarmed civilians because they traditionally lose more than they win when they attack armed soldiers. They are cowards. Those type of people deserve to rot
Where exactly did I say they were guilty from this sentence?lol...Being charged with a crime doesn't make you guilty - being convicted does.

New details in Army charge sheets released Wednesday paint a disturbing picture of depravity, deceit and savage internal discipline involving at least 12 Stryker soldiers from Joint Base Lewis-Mc-Chord in Washington state during their recent deployment to Afghanistan.
you know how when a few fanatical muslims do something bad, we immediately get lectured for lumping all muslims together? isn't it funny then, that when a few americans do something bad, "their" first reaction is to lump us all together?
But I thought we went to those countries to do good :roll:
What are the odds of a story like this coming to light at this particular time? The building of the Mosque, the nut wanting to burn Qurans, Afghans protesting and burning American flags, Imam Rauf saying we must build the mosque there for national security against radical Islam. This seems like it could be pour gas on the fire.
Am I turning into some kind of a conspiracy theory nut?
His father, a marine veteran, was shocked, and made five calls to military officials that day, his phone records show.
He said he left a message on a defense department hotline and called four numbers at fort lewis. He said he spoke with an on-duty sergeant and left a message at an army criminal investigations division office before reaching the base's command center.
In that call, an official told him that if his son wasn't willing to come forward while deployed, there was nothing the base could do, winfield recalled in interviews with the ap and in a sworn statement to army investigators. .
So, is this going to make you less likely to lump all Moslems together and call them terrorists? Looking forward to your answer.
I agree it should be verified, and then if accurte, the accused tried. But one of the problems with war is that it creates the opportunity for those who have such sick intent to act on those intentions. Not saing this specific accusation is true, but noting the nature of war.
It contains evidence ...
So are you saying sociopathic behavior would be quelled had thier not been a war? :roll:
