I'm still for old school.  Shoot him or hang him.  People like that are not soldiers.  They are scum.  Some here will disagree and say it was stupidity and/or lack of judgment.  I say treason and/or espionage.  Most of my adult life revolved around utmost OPSEC at all times as a special operations soldier, so I feel strongly about this.  String him up & maybe the next one won't suffer such "lack of judgment".

Should they send him through 11b training or just deploy him with no training?  :devil

Stretcher carriers need no training, just gotta run and not overeat before beign called.  :devil

if the military were more honest about "dubious" incidents rather than just covering them up, and kept their own house in order, there wouldnt be any need for whistleblowers.

it's war, people die and stuff gets broken. Uncle Joe Stalin said one death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.

Wow, are we quoting Stalin now?

Personally I think it is our duty to know everything the government does in our names. I also think that as long as we send our troops to fight and die in some far-away land it is our duty to know everything about the conflict and share in the suffering of our troops as best we can. I'd hate to think we're being shielded by the military through sanitizing and censorship while our civilian leaders are sending people into the meat grinder.

Maybe it's just me.

Agreed. Afterall, we've had numerous gun and bomb cam footage since the Early 90s. I guess when it shows Laser Guided Bombs going down A/C duct work, or Terrorists getting smoked by AC-130 Gunships its ok to plaster it all over the web and MSM?

In other words Its only ok if its cleared for release by the Pentagon.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Wow...  It's gonna SUCK to be an Intel Analyst over there, for quite some time.  The knee-jerk reactions to this will be felt by the entire Intel Community.

Share in the suffering?

The best way to do that is to pick up a weapon and follow those that lead ....



It's certainly not something one can do whilst sitting on one's bellybutton watching YouTube.........

If you have your doubts about how dangerous a child can be, go find a Vietnam Vet and ask him...........

There is a guy I work with. He was in the Navy Seals during the Vietnam War, and his duty was to provide recon in northern Vietnam. He told me a story that him and his squad of 9 soldiers were passing through a small village in the forest. Right as they were about to leave, a little girl around 7 years old swung a machette and the blade hit between his shoulder blades. He wasted no time and pulled out his handgun and shot her point blank in the head. In front of everyone in the village. Gunfire erupted everywhere in the village and him and his squad left the premises as swiftly as they could.

In war, there is only life and death. There is no compromise. Live or die.

Unquestionably... That's why I said "share in the suffering of our troops as best we can". Not all of us can join the fight, but we can at least watch what is going on and see what out soldiers are experiencing... Even if it is only on Youtube. The alternative is that we have a civilian population that is completely clueless with regard to our soldiers' suffering and the realities of this conflict... Is there then any wonder our veterans are treated badly by people who have no clue?

Most people don't have a clue about the kind of stuff that can go on in a warzone.  I worked with a guy who was in the military in Bosnia.  While handing out food to people a kid pull a knife and stabbed him in the leg.  They were there to help them but crap still went down.
