For AKIron:

Why ? Does truth taste so bad in your mouth you're not able to take it?

OK lemme get this straight... The Marines believed the guy was faking death... so:

A) Either the guy was dead and the bullet to the head made no difference
B) Or the guy was faking in which case he had alternative motives to surrendering and as such was still a combatant and thus a legitimate target.

Seems pretty simple to me. If its A) all the marine has done is disrespected a corpse, not a big issue, and if its B) all the marine has done is kill a an enemy combatant, which is what war is all about.

Case closed.

These are the pics I'd like to see more; pics where US soldiers can be seen helping the people (even if they were who made the wounds); That's good for PR.

Or the guy was unconscious from the wounds and thus what the marine did was an execution. Remember they were already captured earlier and it looks like they weren't having any kind of weapons. Sounds like really bad news for the kid and rightly so.

Staga, do you think I am an employee of HTC? Don't know what gave you that idea but I don't have the ability to ban anyone. Just making an observation based on what's been tolerated and what's been found unacceptable here on this board. Nazi boy seems to have stepped over that line with his graphic post and I was just warning him. Like I said, he's been amusing at times, would hate to see him banned.

What the marine did was murder if the video is unedited.
I'm sure his mental state will come into play as a defense (as it should), but the act was no doubt a murder. If he is not a sociopath (like Timothy McVeigh), I think it might haunt him his entire life. If he is a sociopath (like Timothy McVeigh) I hope they find out before they turn him loose in America.

I hope people note, that there were many people there with guns and only one played God. The marines train soldiers, not murderers. The barbaric acts of a few shouldn't be used to smear all the good soldiers risking their lives over there for us.

Those in the forum who would defend murder, well all I can say is you indignation of terrorism is only tactical. You are of the same mindset.

Ah so now GScholtz is a "Nazi boy"? And you're concerned about what's tolerated in this board?
Kinda funny isn't it?

Worried? Nah, I may be stepping over the line too but I don't think it's what HTC is so much concerned about. There have been repeated warnings about posting nudity or grisly pics. Of course nazi boy was talking about killing ignorant people to aid humanity and if that isn't a nazi precept then I don't know what is.

What we have here is the Barnes/Elias phenomena.

I wish this topic could've had a poll enabled - the choices would go like this.

Do you ( ) Waste the mother****er

Do you ( ) Take the chance that he's alive and have an IED charger in his ass.

Your choice.

Wolf

Me personally, i'd shoot the mother****er - twice. But then again I am more Marine then most.

Suave · « **Reply #281 on:** November 17, 2004, 08:13:46 PM »

Well I know what the corpsman who treated his wounds two days before he was killed chose.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #282 on:** November 17, 2004, 08:23:38 PM »

Suave that is true, but now I am hearing that the building was reoccupied by the bad guys before the incident happened. The thinking is that these guys could have been re-armed or boobytrapped at that point.

How many didn't shoot? Were they trained badly?
Who is saying the marine was acting as trained?

The marine who noticed him moving shot. That's his job.
