Agreed. But I am sure there are MANY other cases of this nature that have not been dealt with...in Iraq...and here in the States.Quote:

To whoever said they were an example, if someone murdered four people, raped a few, and set a girls body on fire, im pretty sure they would get the death sentence. Or life without parole, which is exactly what 110 years is.
I'm not condoning what those soldiers did. If they did this then they deserve what they get. I'll just say this: War does crazy things to your mind. It dehumanizes the enemy (a premis supported and forced upon the soldiers by their superiors). It is much easier to kill someone you hate and see as less than human. In Germany WWII, it was the Huns, Nazis, Krauts etc. In Japan it was the Nips, Japs, yellow menace etc. In VietNam it was Dinks, Gooks, slopes, etc., anyway to dehumanize the enemy. In Iraq, I'm sure they have some choice descriptive terms for Iraqis, like Ragheads, camel jockeys and probably a few more that are even more demeaning. When you see your enemy as less than human, it is easier to do inhuman things to them.
They call that propaganda.Quote:

i like that line in apocalypse now where he says something like giving a murder charge in this place is like handing out speeding tickets at the indianapolis 500.
...its war, people die. get over it. people die here all the time in horrible acts of violence, but liberals don't go crying over that. but when a soldier kills someone he's the devil. ridiculous.
So you think someone who rapes a 14 year old girl, and kills her family should be let free in society? :wtf: 110 years is getting off too easy imo. He should get the death penalty.Quote:

i think any petafile, rapist, killer should be put to death.
none should be condoned even in the act of war.
if anyone tried to do any of those acts to my family ill be the judge and decide the death penalty imediatly
No. What the soldier did was plain cold murder.Quote:

If you were a WWII bomber doing missions over Germany, would you have any concern about the civilians, or consider them all Nazis and blow the hell out of them anyway?
War is dirty business and they have the schmucks do the job that the planners are afraid of doing.
I'll be damned if I go to war based on a lie to make some fat bastard richer.
War....ain't it pointless? :wtf:
