KABUL, Afghanistan - A U.S. Marine unit broke international humanitarian law by using excessive force during a shooting spree last month that left 12 people dead.

The troops fired indiscriminately at pedestrians, people in cars, public buses and taxis in six different locations along a 10-mile stretch of road in Nangarhar province after an explosives-rigged minivan crashed into their convoy on March 4, according to the report by Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission. The USA military said they did it for freedom and the fighting was the American way. The Marines stated
the American people were behind them 100 per cent. This is the way to reach hearts and minds. Just look at Vietnam.

The latest news from Afghanistan is that of US marines going on a shooting rampage killing women and children after being attacked by a suicide bomber. Only one US marine was injured in the attack! I never hear of the British, the Canadians, or the Dutch committing any atrocities, yet the US Marines are becoming infamous! Remember Kilo company, Haditha, and Ishaqi?

I remember the film "Full Metal Jacket" by Stanley Kubrick. Maybe their "born to kill" mentality isn't suited to the job of protecting civilians!

My Dad is a veteran from the early fifties. He recently went to the VA and they told him they could'nt treat him because of his income. He is not a wealthy man, and I always thought it did not matter anyway. He said the republican congress passed a law a few years ago. Does anyone know who is responsible for this outrage. He like most Vets never asked for favours, just what was due him.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
A man who had nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

America claimed in 2001 to be going to help Iraqis from Saddam and to stop "terrorism". Saddam committed his crimes mainly in the 1980's when the US couldn't care less and despite "terrorism" coming from virtually anywere else but Iraq. So now that the inept US military has made a mess creating a virtual genocide, isn't it time the US waves their usual white flag as they did in Vietnam and Korea and return back to the US...defeated again?
