*Uncensored* video of the wounded Iraqi

Summary: Marine makes bad judgement and kills a terrorist. Liberal media blows up the situation and most likely marines career is over due to reporters greed.

all judgments in this war have been incredibly bad including going to war itself. a wounded IRAQI insurgent is not a terrorist. I believe Osama bin Laden used a similar justification for 9/11.

How can you pass jugment? I thought everyone on P&N was an armchair general and should just let the military do its thing?
 
US Marines rally round comrade
US Marines have rallied round a comrade under investigation for killing a wounded Iraqi during the offensive in Fallujah, saying he was probably under combat stress in unpredictable circumstances.

Marines interviewed on Tuesday said they did not see the shooting as a scandal, rather the act of a comrade who faced intense pressure during the effort to quell the insurgency in the city.

"I can see why he would do it. He was probably running around being shot at for days on end in Fallujah. There should be an investigation but they should look into the circumstances," Lance Corporal Christopher Hanson said.

"I would have shot the insurgent too. Two shots to the head," Sergeant Nicholas Graham said.

"You can't trust these people. He should not be investigated. He did nothing wrong."

The military command launched an investigation after video footage showed the US Marine shooting a wounded and unarmed man in a mosque in the city on Saturday.

Why would anyone want to be a soldier or a police officer anymore?
 
The bottom line is that the young marine thought the terrorist was faking dead, and was about to do something to harm them all. So he shot him. End of story. One more dead terrorist. :thumbsup:

The terrorists have been faking dead and then shooting and booby trapping bodies. This is what happens when you have a history of doing those things. Seeing the video and hearing first hand accounts I think the marine will be cleared.
 
This is what happens in war.

The mindset of soldiers under massive amounts of stress is completely different than any of us who haven't been there can fathom.

The question should not be whether or not the soldier did anything wrong, but whether or not he should have been put in that situation in the first place.

"Bad judgement" is what we're calling it these days?

Replace 'reporter's greed' with 'committing murder' and I'll agree with you.

And by your estimation, are any and all Iraqis fighting against the US military "terrorists?"

I think you miss the point. It's a rhetorical question.

Soldiers and police officers have to make split-second decisions under stressful conditions that have life and death consequences and are judged by people in tranquil settings with the benefit of hindsight.

God bless those who do these jobs.
