BBC - Haditha marines "lived in feral conditions" video

this is just plain disgusting.

Conditions at one of the camps which housed some of the marines have been described as 'feral'. John Simpson reports.

2. you have to wonder where the company cammander was.

did he complain to higher ups. was he ignored? maybe things are so bad outside the green zone that

everyone is on their own.

3. I've tried to withhold judgment on the Haditha

massacre because of things such as this. With this administration in charge, I do fear that our military is being horribly misused and abused, and are compltely unable to get the help (physical, mental or otherwise) that they need. Iraq truly seems to be a clusterf*** for all but the moneyed elite of the world. :(

4. Insanity. Marines living and behaving like animals.

And what happens to these soldiers once they get back home?
