no, i am not a liberal(yawn)

i have chosen sides, huh?
wow
simply casting a light on what should not go unnoticed in these dark times.

Answer 1

Not all Marines are like this. We are supporting the war against terror, so don't think of it as we are there to wreak havoc on the Iraqi people. They have to increase the punishment for those that are though. The marine in this article should be tried for treason as articles like this undermine the war effort.

For those answers here that are using "war" in general as an excuse, those are horrible answers. You can't justify something like this. You will all get thumbs down from me as that is poor thought process. There is no excuse for that.

Answer 2

Aparently you've never been in a war. I just returned from Iraq about 9 months ago. I'm not saying what these guys did was right, but you have know idea the day in and day out stress soldiers go through. Not only that, but those soldiers followed an unlawfull command. That's on them. Don't judge all soldiers as a whole on what few did wrong. People make mistakes. You say is this what we are supposed to be supporting? Look at anything possible you could support, America, Civil rights, Animal Rights, anything and I'm sure if you research enough you'll find someone in that organization that did something wrong moral, or legal. Even if you don't agree with the war be thankful that people like myself and many many others volunteer to have our lives rip apart by war so that others don't have to.

Answer 3

What does Bollywood celebrity have been given to do with their visual attraction and function of cricketers? Stars have vested interest interior the group to make money and function a solid time. they are the vendors and that they like to return on investment from their communities. Their presence could inspire the gamers to accomplish properly. yet that isn't what we've seen so a procedures. SRK's group looks the worst so a procedures and extremely possibly ameliorations will come. Preity's group are ok yet aspects as they win few video games. Royals are okay to, yet want their group extra suited performances and their batting has been a priority different than Pathan.

Answer 4

I knew it wouldn't take long until the "war is hell" bunch would start chiming in. It is hell, and it's a hell the US shouldn't be in right now in Iraq.

That being said, the only thing that seperates us from the brutality and savage nature of our enemy is our military acting in a honorable way. With a few exceptions, that is the case. If we excuse this type of behavior for any reason, we are no better than the terrorists.

Answer 5

That's just one article. Yes there are a lot of horrible things like that, that happen with the war but there is positive things as well. We only hear what the media wants us to hear. We can support it or not, it's our decision but you can't base an opinion on one article.

Answer 6

I'm a Republican, and I agree that that is a complete embarrisment to American military. But War is Hell. In Vietnam, people went crazy and lost their sense of morals like they do in the Iraq War. I still support our troops either way. Besides, why is it that some people critisize Americans for doing stuff like this when terrorists killed thousands in 9/11, killed thousands of their own people, and have suicide bombings all over the world. You know the sick thing is that terrorist sometimes kidnap children, kill them, stuff them with bombs! and leave them in the middle of the street. When the parents come by to find their dead child, terrrorist blow up the bomb in the child with the parent next to him or her. Now tell me, what's worse. I still support our troops despite this conflict.

Answer 7

You are presenting a case of criminal behavior to slander the troops and our country.

I know of at least one Yahoo! poster who is a criminal.

Does this mean you support criminal behavior.

Use some sense.

We turn such individuals in. They go to court, then if found guilty, to jail.

The enemy cheers such behavior in their own fighters.

You've chosen sides. So have we.

Answer 8

this is called war, the force that turns every day nice people into total sociopaths. In my opinion these marines should undergo mental therapy and then be pardoned.

Answer 9

What would you do if you are a Marine entering a hostile house in a war zone? Talk first or shoot first and talk later?

Answer 10

People make mistakes. What we are supposed to be supporting are the 3622 men and women that have perished in what people like you call a useless cause.
