All the men over there are at thir breaking point a nd they should never been sent time and again to fight this war,,,Many had mental disorders and yes they sent them back and now the are upset because of their actions,,,,Well the reason is a no brainer for sure,,,,The only equal way is the draft and then let everyone has his or her turn not the same military group and that is what I think,

I don't know, but the day that that story was aired on the radio as I was driving to work, they spent two minutes talking about how we're trying our own for murder in a war zone, and literally five seconds mentioning the 2 soldiers that were tortured, burned, and beheaded. This country's media has got things f*cked up! All they want is to sell a story, no matter how demoralizing it is.

A prison sentence most probably life. The death penalty is wrong!

Life imprisonment is the penalty for killing of unarmed civilians because it is life for lives.

I don't think its fair to charge soldiers with murder when they were in a war zone, comes with the scenery.

Life in prison or the death penalty.

as a former marine myself, i don't think they should be punished at all. the term 'war crimes' is an oxymoron, as war IS a crime. it is quite possbily the ultimate crime against self and against humanity.
if you train someone to do one thing, and one thing only, and then they do that one thing, why should you be so surprised when they do it?
