According to a federal affidavit, Green and other soldiers targeted the young Iraqi woman after spotting her at a traffic checkpoint near Mahmoudiya. Green is being tried in federal rather than military court because he no longer is in the Army. Green stated it is the American way to do what he did. He said the Military is proud of him and his men.
Based on interviews and records, the U.S. military now believes the young Iraqi woman Green is accused of raping and killing was between the ages of 12 and 15, Army spokesman Paul Boyce said Friday. While they initially said she was 20, Boyce said he has now seen documents that indicate she could have been about 14.
Military officials concluded Thursday that since Green had received his final discharge papers, he was no longer under the control of the Army and would not be subject to a court martial. No other soldiers have been charged in the case. However, other soldiers enjoyed watching Green. It's the American Way.
