'It has been downright embarrassing to be an American for the last 4 years.'
Leave. Pack up and go instead of whining on the internet about the greatest country in the world. There are literally hundreds of people clamoring to take your place.
Bye.
By saying that US soldiers in IRAQ are doing there duty, so there are paid killers or killers on rent. SO you simply say that killers on rent are not paid by government by army soliders they are also killers on rent that are paid by US government., so they have licence to kill. bening honest husband means nothing nothing beaing honest men is something.
This is not fight for country, this is fight for fear.
Quoted by JAMAL:
'By saying that US soldiers in IRAQ are doing there duty, so there are paid killers or killers on rent.

WOW, Everything is so clear now, how could I not see it before!
The reason that we kill, is because we pay rent and kill, but not paid to kill, so when we kill we don't pay but we rent the kill, which means that we don't kill for good, only rent to kill for bad.
this man is one of six ordinary soldiers who sat together and played cards.
He plea bargained so he more than likely will be released in 10 years.
If he had taken part in such a crime in america against white christians he would be killed or spend the rest of his misersble life in a cell.
Back to the card game.
One of the six ordinary soldiers suggested to the other 5 that they should rape an iraqui girl and the other 5 aggreed. Not one of them said no.
They then went to the house of this 14 year old child and took her younger sister, her young mother and father and locked them in a room to hear their daughter's screams as she was systematically raped by each ordinary soldier.
Still none of these average american boys tried to stop it or interveen.
They then shot her younger sister , her mother and her father and when the last one of them had defialed this 14 year old child they shot her six times in the face poured petrol oll over her broken little body an set her on fire.
Then like most american atrocities they tried to blame these people that they call insurgents. What is an insurgent? this is the new american word for opposition in a war started by america. Their other new word to avoid international law is illegal combattant, again a member of the other side in a war started by america. This is what six average american soldiers are capable of without any of the six saying wait lads that is wrong.
George and dick look at what you have turned your own young men into.
Well done
Possible parole in 10 year. Who speaks for the victims when this comes up? These guys should never see freedom again period.
'He plea bargained so he more than likely will be released in 10 years.'
That is just nonsense. He wont have another free day sa long as he lives.
jamal your statements are sad to the hearts of real americans are forces fighting for your rotten butt!! but you should not talk big on the web, you should tell a marine or army personal member what you told us!!! and you will see how tough your little mouth is!!!
george we dont need you here, i agree with last post leave
Troops through out history have often commited crimes but from some of the posts here you would think that the countries it has effected had no crime before these events.
If he did it in Iraq then he needs to stand trial in Iraq.
Well, he'll be out in as little as 10 years. Would the sentence had been the same if the slain family incl. the gang raped 14 year old girl had been American? Puke.
Soldiers in the front lines are subjected to many pressures. Many human beings tend to display their ugly/noble nature under pressure. However its possible that soldiers that perform well in combat tend to be more inhumane in nature(must be some killer instinct), ironically saving his squad.
A single individual's action (whether evil or good) should only be viewed at a micro-perpective, not representing an organisation. I agree however that US law is too lenient(almost close to Canada's). War never changes but the war crimes do. For a lack of words, the system is questionable and should be revised.
The inability to perform tasks without emotions is human trait that makes us a either a target for the extremists, or one of them ourselves.
