Amerikan soldiers killing a wounded Iraqi in glorious color clip

Ok everybody no night vision goggles no question about him being down no weapon in sight. Hey I want to hear some excuses for this. Everybody that saw the Apache helicopter footage and said the farmers looked like terrorists. I'd like to hear your explanation for this.
CNN footage. Listen to the kid afterwards when he says "Awesome"

2. You realize that these same soldiers will be coming home

with a callousness of spirit and the thought that "others" aren't human, and so it is ok to mow them down. Please remember that John Allen Mohammed was a sniper in Gulf War I. If he'd been given psychiatric help when he returned, would he have turned serial killer? If the soldiers of Gulf War II don't get psychiatric help when they return, how many future snipers will wreck havoc here?

I know the whole episode in Iraq is immoral, and I condemn it. I wrote the paragraph above for others to use when arguing with freepers. Somehow those bozos don't think it is 'wrong' unless it affects them.

4. I saw that

on tv. I would say there is no excuse. killing someone who is wounded and 50 yards away is not justifiable.

5. OMFG! I think that soldier being interviewed is my ex gf's brother.

Haven't talked to her in a couple years, but I know her brother is a Marine and that sure as hell looks and sounds like him.

Fucking shit.

:cry:
