Ex-US troop gets life for rape, murders (2 Viewers)

[Riet]

he was just really really horny okay

i dont think it warrants a death penalty, some of those guys get so detached from reality nothing seems inherently wrong

We train them to be shut-off and unflinching when they have to kill, it's not unrealistic to expect this from time to time.

Since we're talking about the US, that is never how a firing squad execution was done.

Ah. I was talking about the Indonesian system which I remember being described to me during the Bali bombers execution.

He should of been dragged out when he said he wanted to kill civilians.

But these guys planned this. It wasn't just "in the moment" (which wouldn't have been all that much better). I think it's completely realistic to expect that this never should occur, and the highest of punishments (life imprisonment, in my opinion) should be served when it does.

Acceptable losses in the overall campaign to free Iraq

Are you kidding me with this? Acceptable losses? Free Iraq? You are completely clueless.

Praise Bush and his campaign for a freer world

I don't think it was planned, they get fucked up in the head over there, war is hell. Just a random occurrence triggered by extreme mental distress in a situation where the lines of morality and humanity are blurred every day.

i heard about this story but didnt know that it was true.
i have also heard from alot people that these kind of acts by the US army is common. :S

they deserve life and death penalty would not be suitable. every min of boredom in jail should show them what life means and they can then only reflect upon their actions. death is easy ..... and they wouldnt have to suffer.

PS. whether its war or peace. whether in america or iraq no1 deserves to raped and no1 deserves to die.

Deserves death IMO
