Soldiers got off easy for killing the neighbor of the Insurgent they were looking for.?

Question

I was reading where it happened in 2006, and some of the soldiers are already out. Then he has an interview saying they were going to set up the actual "Insurgent," whom they believed was planting bombs, to make it look like he was doing it again. Instead of doing that, the dogs at his home were barking too much, so they decided to kill his neighbor. Who to this day they don't know who he was. Then the ones charged with murder got unpremeditated murder charges. Here in America if you rob a store, and your partner shoots the cashier and kills him, you both get murder charges. Why is it not that way in the military? They planned to kill someone, but ended up killing someone else, why are they getting off so easy? The most received was 15 yrs, the other are getting 1-8 and then they are getting out early!

Answer 1

If it wasn't for the US Government pretending to be taking rape, torture and murder seriously, the soldiers wouldn't have been prosecuted at all. It's only because some stories get into the International Public Domain that action is actually taken and that is only for political purposes, to save the US Government from International embarrassment. For every US soldier convicted, 100s never come to trial. What do want, the US Government to come clean? That will never happen. The White House is still saying that Saddam was going to commit an attrocity. They now admit that there was no weapons of mass destruction but now say that Saddam was tied to Iran and planned to use Iran's nuclear weapons, when Iran builds them. The White House also claims that the WoMD did exist and were taken to Iran and Syria. Why won't they tell the truth? We know that Saddam didn't have WoMD but had killed a few thousand Iraqis. However, the US had killed many more through not providing the food and medicine that was supposed to pay for Saddam's oil. The US got the oil but allowed many Iraqis to starve and die from easily treated diseases. Only when Saddam said "no more oil" did Bush declare him a terrorist. Since the invasion, US soldiers have killed unknown numbers of innocent Iraqis and continue to do so. They rape young children and old women before killing them and torture young men to death. The only thing we know is that the US has killed tens of thousands more than Saddam did. Some estimates say that it could go into the 100s of thousands that have been killed. No Us Government, throughout US history, has ever come clean and no future Government ever will. Previous Governments have known all the facts but just because of their arrogance, they have allowed many tens of thousands of US deaths. They knew that Vietnam was a disaster, early on and yet they kept replacing the dead soldiers as fast as the soldiers were killed. Did the Government come clean about it's knowledge of the facts? No! Somalia 1990, the US Government knew that it was not easy and that lives will be lost and yet they still invaded and the US got it's ar*e kicked straight back out. If your politicians were honest and could face truth, the world would have been at peace for many years now. However, at the moment, Bush is set on the idea of "World Domination" by the US. At the moment, the US is controlling every poor country, most of Africa, much of Asia and virtually all of the West. However, Muslim countries are resisting US influence and will not allow the US to get involved in their politics. This angers Bush and he has to use force to bring whole nations to their knees. As a final point, of the few US soldiers that have been sentenced for crimes, how many were Officers? As the crimes were committed in Iraq, they should face the same courts as Saddam did and receive equivilant sentences (death) as those soldiers are committing mass murder and their superiors should be held accountable.

Answer 2

How is it unintended whilst there is assorted documented data individuals Marines executing finished families in chilly blood, like 7 photos to a ten year previous women head? through fact they have been the closest abode to the place their chum have been given killed, and different susceptible excuses. no longer even the worst of insurgents could try this to any new child. in the event that they did, it would be shown everywhere on television worldwide rather of those militia conceal-united stateswhich are slowly seeping out like pus-crammed sores. we are conversing approximately distinctive circumstances of chilly blooded gangland execution kind murders of finished families, who theory they have been thoroughly locked of their very own properties. study many of the different deeds individuals Marines and what they have carried out with women human beings and infants over there in the land they do no longer look to be welcome in through fact they do no longer admire lifestyles. kind 'Haditha' into any seek engine and notice for your self. you will quickly comprehend that those 'insurgents' are time-honored relatives adult adult males protecting their different halves, daughters and properties from the barbarians that have come to rape and pillage their land. It ain't purely some executions, until eventually you're conversing a pair of few one hundred. Beating Iraqi's to death in US-Iraq prisons could be scutinised, and not enable off with 2~5 year detention center words exceeded out via the militia to it is very own offenders. What achieveable hazard have been each and all the (un-charged) bare unarmed prisoners (against totally armed guards) that they have got been given overwhelmed to death?

Answer 3

They actually knew who the guy was because the defense wanted to know if he could have been an insurgent, and he is actually on the military's watch list because he is suspected of being a sniper that is wanted out there. But they still didn't have evidence of it.

Answer 4

They got a trial-------that was the decision of the court.

Actually, things like this happen in all wars. Get a good history book that goes down to the squad, platoon, or company level (suggestion: "Band of Brothers" "Battle: The Story of the Bulge") and they talk about American soldiers committing these act in WWII----naming names. It's not right, but it happens.

Answer 5

Is the text of the decision and sentencing deliberation available? If so, that (presumably) would give a good explanation.
The military is trying to look after it's own, and these guys certainly embody the military philosophy - shoot first, think later.

Answer 6

What part of all this did you think was easy? Military law isnt about appeasing the masses and being politically correct. They discipline according to everyone's involvement and situation. In fact, they do it fast, this case would have taken 10 years to go to trial in civilian courts.

Answer 7

They deserve to die.

Answer 8
