Screw DumbF@#$istan...

He can be court marshaled or brought to trial by the Iraqi government.

courtmarshelled, yes.......tried by the iraqui govt......no way........

it's a military matter.

Angus, What German execution of US captives are you referring to? The Malmedy Massacre occured in December '44, in Belgium. Bastogne (Belgium) is not in the bocage region of France (it's roughly 290 miles away), and the seige occured 5 months after the bocage fighting in France was over.

it happened in Normandy if I remember correctly it was some Canadian soldiers

You want a crystal ball . There is no way to tell who will commit a crime like this . Period . If there was there would be no crime ever . Just whistle up the psyche eval. and bust em before the commit it in any place in life . As for psyche eval + training coming close , pipe dream dude . You know not of what you speak .

Lack of respect for another poster/person will get you nowhere, dude. No point arguing with that attitude of yours. A constructive answer might lead somewhere, obviously you are not interested in obtaining new information but merely belittle others.

Some of the responses here are beyond me.















<S> Marine...and good luck in court......your gonnnnnnna need it 

[crockett]

It's quite simple.. if he is a "Ex" Marine the military court can't charge him with anything. The only the civilian justice system can file charges against him at that point. If he commited a war crime while in the military it should be a military issue, however their hands are tied and they can not charge him, it would be up to the civilian courts to do at that time.

[SD67]

I believe we have already covered that issue with the recall to service concept.
He should IMO be recalled and tried by a military court. A civilian court has no business taking the responsibility for dealing with crimes such as this. The crime occurred while the accused was in another country for one, He was under the responsibility of the US military at the time the offences occurred.
The only agencies who have any business dealing with this matter are a US military court, an Iraqi court  or the war crimes tribunal. If he has even a half decent defence attorney he should walk. He should be recalled and court marshalled.

Court or no court, - did he pop unarmed captives or not?

IT DEPENDS. were they in a room with nothing but walls? if there was even a chair, that could become a weapon very easily.........

[john9001]

Court or no court,

hey, we did away with lynch mobs years ago, do you still have them in Iceland?

[Angus]

So, under the cirkumstances, walls or no walls, what would you call a guy from another nation that would execute U.S. army captives?
