Here whats happen couple months ago in Afghanistan
http://news.bostonherald.com/news/international/general/view.bg?articleid=1044720
Sad story, special how they treat those soldiers back home....
Can someone enlight me what wold happen if that will be US not Polish Soldiers involved in this kind of accident?
And what the story about Geneva convention not apply US soldiers?
its not a flame bait, im just curious about procedure.
-
How is that not flame-baiting?
Soldiers who aren't from the US don't do anything... but you ask... yeah, but if these were our guys, why wouldn't they get into trouble.. automatically assuming that they'd get a pass.
Please, don't even act like it ain't a troll here. Pffft.

think first , post later woman
im interesting how US would handle such a case.
My natives treat soldiers like scums and i dont like that.
Many call US as example of honorable trating their soldiers in such cases.
And im wonder how/ whats the procedure.

I was going to include that exact line in my wedding vows...
Reconsidered at the last moment.

Let's just skip through the 2 or 3 additional pages of posts here that you're going to make which will be incoherant, and get to the intended purpose of your initial post. ;)

I would think that if any US soldier did what these polish soldiers are "accused" of doing, then those US soldiers would be prosecuted under military code of justice. I don't know why you think US soldiers are immune from prosecution when they break laws of war. We do have news reports on certain US soldiers being disciplined for this crime and that.

Ramzey, if they came in and just started shooting people, Not knowing who was a Taliban and who wasn't, then yes, it's sad (that it happened) and U.S. soldiers' are not exempt.

(and.... after a few bites... comes the return for the pounce onto the true purpose of the post)
-
US soldiers have been prosecuted and imprisoned for ridiculing Iraqi prisoners so if you're implying US soldiers are held to a lower standard ramzey, give us a break.

They are handcuffed in front of their families and press by SWAT (as they did to Poles ) or there is other procedure for that?
Also, is there whole unit be responsible of just commander of unit who give order to fire.
This is not a case "execution case" but more like wrong target recognition case, i think
Also what is this exempt from Geneva/ Haga convention about?.
US soldiers can be prosecuted only under US military court or there is more about US not signing this conventions?
-
disdain he holds for his "neighbors">
-
bingo. had ya pegged, didn't I Ramzy? :p
-
no
its not about hate
its about how to fights with someone who claim American soldiers can walk around and shoot people without consequences.
Its about education others who have wrong impression about US soldiers.
pity, there is no help from you guys to give me arguments to fight with that opinion
but if you don't care about good name of US justice system and US army why should i?
for sure its easier to be rude smartprettythang texasmom

The US armed forces are above international laws like the Geneva Conventions. While US soldiers are subject to US military law, no US soldier has ever stood trial for war crimes in the US, or faced an international war crimes tribunal. This is not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

SWAT?

Simply put, U.S. servicemen are not authorized to carry out unlawful orders... in doing so they are just as guilty as whoever gave the order.
-

The US soldiers would be tried under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and punished accordingly if found guilty. These soldiers in Poland are not being tried by the UN proper, they will be tried by there own people using the charges violated within the Geneva Convention.
There are circumstances where the Haig will set up a trial for war crimes, but most of the time, the group that handles war crimes will monitor the trials and not get involved unless there is a blatant attempt to not follow the punishment rules.
And what the story about Geneva convention not apply US soldiers?
This is absolute crap. We are trained over and over about the Geneva Convention and the Law of Armed Conflict and must follow those laws of face punishment. Who ever gave you this information is just bashing ignore them.
As with all things it is also dependent on the group running the Geneva Convention (for the lack of a better term) as who they will look at to be punished.
-
The Geneva Conventions do not apply to US soldiers because the US does not recognize any international courts. Only a tribunal or court set up or approved by the UN can actually try someone for violating the GC. That the US military has incorporated most or all of the Geneva Conventions in their military law does not change the fact that they are above the Geneva Conventions. The difference being if you are tried and found guilty of war crimes in a UN tribunal you are officially a war criminal. That is something the US armed forces does not like to have on its record. So even if your forces (individuals or small groups) have committed heinous atrocities and war crimes in just about every war you have fought ... not one US solder has ever been convicted of a war crime, just violations of US law. Kind of like what the Catholic Church is doing with child molesting priests ... deal with it "in house".
There are no US war criminals.
-
No.. we do not recognize the corrupt UN world court.. we have a higher standard than that.
And just who has stood trial for war crimes in your UN world court?

It's missing Stalin and Che Guevera. But we're not really expecting the UN to even consider trying socialists, are we?

You just sound paranoid. Tell me what is Nazi short for?

nazi=National Socialist German Workers Party.
that's SOCIALIST, for the slow learners.

And you sound like you're ignorant of History. But don't worry, that's expected of communists. Just look at boroda.

Just find one. That's not too much to ask for is it? Or do you actually believe that no one has ever been convicted of war crimes? :lol

You can say that again.
The cowardly 370 Dutch soldiers in Srebrenica, Bosnia back in July of 1995 just gave up and handed over all of the Muslim Bosnians civilians that they were protecting to the Serb war criminal Ratko Mladic, who then massacred over 8,000 of them, including many old men and young boys.
Their military is so clueless, that they actually gave the men who served in Srebrenica an award last year for their service!!!
If nuclear weapons did not exist, Russia could easily conquer all of Western Europe in a heartbeat today. The Germans are the only nation that could put up any decent sort of conventional fight.

True, but that does not change the fact that the Nazis were socialists. The Nazi economy was almost communist in nature; the only thing they didn't do was confiscate all private property ... they just told you what you could produce, or you would be replaced as the head of your own company.
If you think the Nazis were "right-wing" you've been listening to your socialist teachers again.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance."
Hillary Clin... no, wait! It's Adolf Hitler! :aok

Both Hitler and Stlalin hated labor unions or any kind of organized labor groups. So in that regard both were socialists economically. Hitler on the other hand had no problem both making friends with, and enriching, the German economic elite. Actually the economic giants of German industry got along quite well with Hitler.
Hitler knew when to "get along and appease" and "when to crush without mercy". Old money was pretty safe with the Nazis as long as it wasn't Jewish old money.
At the same time the Nazis were far more generous with their workers then Stalin ever was. Their conditions were far better, were paid better, and were allowed state paid vacations. Hitler just didnt want them having any political power. Not even the power to quit and look for a new job.
