apparently he went nuts took 4 grenades and threw 3 of them. 1 was a dud, he threw one into a tent and another in a different tent.
12 soldiers hurt, 6 seriously, none life threatening.
He was injured himself by 1 of the grenades.
He was acting strangely and they said he was questioning the Coalition's mission.
They decided to leave him behind should they go into Iraq.
This was reported by NBC, I just caught the end of it.
Anyone else hear this?
-
Yea just heard of it. Hope they hang him.
-
Damn. :(
At least it sounds like they will live.
I read a book by a well decorated vet of Vietnam and Korea (forgot his name), who talked about hand grenades and all the times he was wounded by them and saw how people reacted when a grenade landed in front of them or in their hole or bunker. Basically he said he lost all respect for hand grenades as weapons, and the worst thing you could do is dive on one, because you will probably die. Just hit the deck and everybody will survive.
Guess I'm glad to hear it's still true.
Hope they fry that nutjob if what you said is correct.

brain damaged. we had some head cases like this in my army too.
like all communitys, the military has it's nutjobs. thankfully, per capita, the numbers are far less...
i'm thankful the damage this one did was minor compared to how bad it could have been..

According to CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/24/iraq/main541815.shtml) two Kuwaiti translators are being questioned. Authorities also caught a U.S. soldier thought to be involved as well.
-
Uh, he is allegedly a Moslem-American. So insanity was probably not his motivation.

there is no such thing as a muslem american!!!!
Kick all the them bastards out of the US and there goes 1/2 our troubles.
-
CNN is very happy to report this incident. They are asking the reporters how the troops they are embeded with feel about the situation. I feel they will begin every report now with that question as if the troops in the field are focused on this incident.
-
Unfortunately I'll probably have to listen to this ******* cry his eyes out in a few months when he's sitting in my office telling me how "I was always a good soldier, I don't know what happened" :(
(I'm a counselor in a military prison)

That's the American Way!!
Please.......
My wife is from another country. The sole reason she finally became a citizen (after 20 years living here) is so that she could excercise her right to vote!
She takes her American Citizenship more seriously and more responsibly than half this board.
My Grandfather on my mother's side came from here from Germany in the 30's and my Grandfather on my father's side came here from Italy in the 20's....I'm glad you didn't get to decide to kick them out in the '40's.

When will they hang him?
-
Hey Raub we have a wonderful tool to counsel idiots like this just fine down here in Alabama. Its called the Electric Chair.
-
Oh, he'll probably just rot away in prison for 20 years or so sucking up tax dollars.
-
This guy can't be guilty he's low ranking, black, and a moslem. It is someone elses fault, prolly the army.
The libs are going to have a new cause now. I can't wait to hear the arguments and irrational justifications for this guys actions. This is going to be a story that has "legs"!
-
Now it's murder:(
-
no, one just died whoopeeit. :mad:

that ****head is soooo screwed.. dont wartime rules allow summary execution for stuff like this?
-
The Soldier in question was recently repremanded for insubordination, no details. They also said on CNN that he had been questioning (squeaking?) their being overseas.
My question is what in the world was HE doing there? The guy is a Sgt. in control of men and ammo, and he is openly defiant of Officers. If you have a nutbag, ACTING like a nutbag, don't you leave his arse behind where he can do no damage to begin with?

Short bus just pulled in I see.

Everyone has their hot buttons. This idiot pushed mine (the soldier not rc51). I think he should be shot as a traitor. Makes me sick just to think about it.

Many ancestors of "americans" are germans. That's why these kind of ideas are born.
-
the word now is that, after being reprimanded, he was pissed he wasn't going to go fight.
-

And you just climbed off.

Look It's my opinion that if you ain't Protestant or catholic or a jew you don't belong here!
Just my opinion you don't have to agree.

Why don't you put them in death camps instead? That's what your role model did.

Being as im a JEW I don't think so LOL.
Perhapes you should think before you speak?
-
As Far as Muslims?
I would never put them in any kind of camp!
That cost money.
Just get the the hell out of here before they blow something else up.
That religion has no place in America.
Again people its just one mans opinion.
you have your's and I have mine.

Anything with big words would probably confuse you.

Hmm ... let's see, Catholic I understand, that's the majority. Why Protestants and Jews?
You have it reversed. Catholics are a minority in the US, far behind the Protestants. That was one of the issues in the Kennedy presidency when questions were asked if he was going to take direction from the vatican. Stupid question but it was "debated" in the "news".

lock him in a prison full of military personell
