Let his words speak for him. Note how he mentions that troop behavior when media was present changed drastically.

These soldiers have one goal; not to win hearts and minds, but to stay alive. And an entire generation of innocent Iraqi civilians are paying the price, with the blood on our hands.

You, that sorry excuse for a "marine" in the video, and everyone in this thread who buys into this video, are a waste of fucking oxygen.

Normally, this is where I'd tell all of you to go fuck yourselves and die; but, since I don't want to break the forum rules, I won't do that... :cool:

come on tough guy, you're one small step away from calling us baby killers and spitting on us at the airports... come on... you can do it... tell us how you really feel!

jerk.

Regretful, but why ignore the worse atrocities - Iraqi against Iraqi.
The number of deaths/injuries and the amount of destruction due to that condition is magnitudes worse that some incidents by a few bad apples within the US military

I acknowledge that there have been a very small number of criminal incidents committed by a very small number of bad U.S. troops -- criminals. Most, if not all, have been prosecuted accordingly.

However, the video linked in the OP is 100% propagandist bullshit, and anyone who buys into it is a complete fucking idiot.

does that shoe fit?

yes... just like the majority of the rest of them. Also, going should be his CO, and all the way up to the generals and Commander and Chief should all be tired for murder....


It's a bunch of BS. This should never ever happen.... No body deserves this.

Wait a second, didn't the military just come out and apologize for a soldier using the koran as target practice. Did the not remove a soldier from duty for distributing coins with John 3:16 on them?

Yet this asshole is allowed to come up there and say he killed an unarmed civilian(with seven witnesses) and nothing was done about it and that he was congratulated by his CO. The whole video stinks from lack of credibility. I can't believe a word from this dudes mouth or anything from the linked site for that matter. Next time use an actual news source.

When I see this latest "baby killer" proved a fake...like the others that many on AT forums have bought into, I figure that i can start selling prime real estate next to Disney World for a serious profit, since you all buy into this crap so easily!

Get real! Most of the "eyewitnesses" or "perpetrators" either never were in the military, or never left the wire. In my time in Iraq, I heard ssome wild stories, and participated in some hair raising incidents, but not ONE of the soldiers i met with would hesitate to report a suspicious incident.

Let's see...failure to report is a certain career ender and likely jail time. As far as I know, Ft leavenworth has only hard labor prison in the United States; it's no cakewalk for soldiers sent there for whatever reason. I don't buy ANY of these idiots so far, and ALL of the ones claiming to have had knowledge were quiet until turned in or investigated.

So the pattern goes like this. ALL the ones convicted so far were quiet about their deeds to outsiders, while so far...all of the ones NOT in the military or NEVER left the wire (liars we can call them) were voiciferous abou their claims to everyone ESPECIALLY on the internet and news.

What's next? Do you all buy into the photos of the "Alien" voyeur peeking into a guys window as well. After all! He's on the news too!

Seeing how all these atrocities were made by CHOICE, it's my feeling if this was a just war (whatever THAT is) these things wouldnt happen. Like WWII. A just war and shit like this rarely happened.

The video in the OP is entirely bullshit. You even know that, but continue to sell it as "the truth" just to push your agenda.

That's makes you more than an idiot -- you're sick too -- and those of you who continue to buy into his nonsense are no better than he is.

bah...
