All this debate and sometimes vitriol  spouting out of some keyboards just tells me one thing.

The Iraq situation is a huge mess that neither Blair nor Bush should ever have got involved in. Violence only breeds violence.

The 20th Century was violent enough, lets not make this one as bad.

The whole thing stinks and its turning people into biggoted idiots witness some of the posts in these forums!

Besides the guys on the ground know that some northeastern pointy-headed liberal-activist judge on some appelate court would just set them free by applying some tenent of the habeas corpus to a non-citizen and free that bastard.

This quote here is very telling Vidkun. It certainly states your position very clearly. It is very close to the rational used for eliminating the untermenschen. (sp) You need to go away for a while and calm down, this was totally uncalled for.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
A Veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

a soldier shooting a wounded enemy soldier (or terrorist, call him what ever you want) after a gun fight...

this happens all the time throu out history, and has been done by all nations taking part in warfare, anyone who say it aint so is either a firm liar or a very naive person.

the only difference is that this time it was cought on tape...

ofcourse im in NO way trying to justify what has happend. im just saying.. War is Hell, there is no such thing as a claen war.
make up with that fact.

My point remains...   if wounded or surrendering fighters are faking it and continueing agression then it is perfectlt acceptable to assume that all wounded fighters are a threat... if they move then they need to be shot ded.   the call is up to the guy on the ground and is not our call.  

I don't care if someone from another unit was there yesterday.  I don't know what was done at that time nor would I care.   There were no marines guarding those prisoners... the prisoners were unguarded and free to have been up to anything.   No one knew if they were reaching for a prayer book or the fuse on a sachel charge.

the marine did the right thing.   I hope that he does not have second thoughts about it the rest of his life.

But next time.... make the camera crew check on wounded or surrendering "freedom fighters".

Is it really neccessary to create a new account to be critical of someone who honestly deserves little more than a pathetic glance in the first place?  I hope not.

If there is to be even a remote glimmer of this bsb having any value to anyone anywhere whatsoever then we need to keep our IDs up front and honest.

imo

correct me if I misunderstand

Forgive me.  6 posts just seemed a little short to be so taken aback by a regular flunky like gshmoltz.

Figured you were alt'ing with a new account to avoid recrimination with harsh intent in the body of your post.

In any event, Im in agreement with you.
