Seeing that the majority of the American public did nothing constructive let alone concerted to stop the atrocity of the Bush "OIL" War in Iraq,why even philosophize now on the number of innocent Iraqis who were murdered (with complete immunity) by US Military snipers? After all thousands of innocent Iraqis at a time were wiped out in neighbourhoods like in Fallujah (as just one example) by incessant US Military bombing and Americans for the most part just ignored it or even cheered it on!
The only recompense or contrition to be offered up now to Iraqis for their pain and sorrow and the unwarranted destruction of their country is really nothing more than "Sanctimony and Crocodile Tears" because these same Americans displayed no conscience and did nothing and took no strong steps or actions to stop these atrocities in Iraq,that were freely instigated and inflicted by their own government and the US Military.
"Hey, you need to go out there and you guys gotta start getting kills"
Just crying after reading the first page only. Stopped reading.
The people who are saying the above, making other soldiers kill people, have gone so far they are lost. -- I only hope our police departments don't hire them; then we are lost; but I think they are hiring them.
As I understand it, soldiers in training are taught to use their heads and not act on illegal, immoral or irrational orders. When they kill someone who is a civilian, who is no threat, yes they should be punished. But let's see, for a change, the people who give the orders, from as high up as necessary, be punished far more.

A very good read however with everything in life there is balance. For every Sgt. Hensly there are 10,000 honorable soldiers doing there jobs.
As the quote in the article says
"If you have never been outside the wire, you really have no basis [to judge]," said Hand. "You've never been in a life-or-death situation where you have had to count on the guy to your left and right ... You see stuff out there that no one back here is going to see."
This is a situation that makes good soldiers angry as this just creates more insurgents.

“If this "War on Terror" is the "War of this Generation" and Washington is not going to change that mission, then … Washington needs to mobilize this nation through national service (conscription). “To have 1 percent of this nation's citizens bear 100 percent of that burden is morally reprehensible. ‘Support the Troops’ needs to be more than words to the other 99 percent of this nation's citizens.”
I do not like to make comparisons to Vietnam as they are totally different in the fact that Oil is a huge part of the current war. However as with Nam how many of the nations elite have served in the "War on Terror"???
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
