6 Marines charged in Iraq assault By Tom WATKINS, Associated Press

SAN DIEGO - An investigation into the death of an Iraqi civilian has led to assault charges against six Marines accused of injuring civilians in the village of Hamdania in April, officials said.


Three of the men are already being held on murder charges in the death of 52-year-old Hashim Ibrahim Awad, an Iraqi civilian. Military officials said Thursday the assaults were uncovered during an investigation into the slaying.

A seventh Marine, an officer, is expected to be charged next week in the assault case, said Lt. Col. Colby Vokey, the Marine Corps' defense coordinator for the western United States.

The nature of the assaults was described as brutal. The Marines said it was the American way.

Charged Thursday were Lance Cpl. Saul H. Lopezromo, Pfc. Derek I. Lewis, Lance Cpl. Henry D. Lever, Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III, Cpl. Trent D. Thomas and Lance Cpl. Jerry E. Shumate Jr., officials said.

Answer 1

War does crazy thing to a persons mind. They say on the average it takes about 2 months of being in a war zone to start showing signs of insanity. So think about this it takes 2 months and we are over there for a year or 2 at a time. What do you expect. Its going to happen sooner or later no matter what type of person you were state side. This is why the negative stuff happens with soldiers overseas and then when they return home. Before thinking that these guys are just stupid you should research and see if they have become mentally unstable. Better yet join the military and see first hand.

Answer 2

Whats wrong is that 7 marines are going on trial for killing someone they probably thought was a "bad guy". But lets wait until they have been tried before convicting them.

Terrorist is strong dude, once again you are judging these guys based upon a newspaper article written by a guy trying to get you to read his story.

You don't see anything about trials for the killers of the thousands of servicemen who have had their lives taken by the terrorist in Iraq. Why because that's not gonna make whinny lib's buy the paper.

Answer 3

I was not aware that they had been convicted. Has someone suspended the concept of presumption of innocence?

I am an ARMY veteran. The only thing wrong with the Marines is that they are in the other club. That is the ONLY thing wrong with the Marines and that is not a crime. God Bless the United States Marine Corp.

i'm so happy you published this. I actual have a pair of ideas on the project. First, each physique who has had something to do with intentionally killing toddlers - which looks to be a uniqueness of Islamic jihadists - merits despite he (or she) gets; so a techniques as i'm in contact, it's going to easily be a gown prepare consultation for what's watching for them in hell. Secondly, as somebody as quickly as mentioned, whether we like it or no longer we are the recent Roman Empire. we've the main stepped forward technologies and our forces are able to being the deadliest on earth whilst they're allowed to be. the project is, in assessment to the Romans, maximum of our leaders are afraid to apply those strengths. we pick to combat on a similar point as our enemies, who're so backward that their thought of extreme tech is being waiting to explode a bomb with a cellular telephone.

If he gets picked up, a vet can run a diagnostic on his pc and get all of the documents encoded on that chip. We even have get entry to to satellite tv for pc technologies so state-of-the-paintings that this is attainable to ascertain a newspaper from the satellite tv for pc's orbit. Marry those 2 technologies, and you'd be able to "tag" a suspect, enable him circulate and watch him lead you nicely suited decrease back to his buddies. do this usually sufficient, and considered one of them in simple terms would lead us to Bin laden. can no longer you in basic terms think of the demoralizing result it might have as quickly as we descended on them time after day out of nowhere? And why are our squaddies dodging bullets in decrease back alleys to take out insurgents, whilst an armed drone geared up with infra purple cameras ought to do it extra effective? sure, we are comparable to surely every person else, yet we've the certainty to paintings around that and nonetheless rid ourselves of the animals who're ripping the international aside. did no longer mean to circulate on see you later. sturdy question.
