You were there?There is a HUGE difference from not wanting to fight in a war and kill people, to going to war and killing innocent people. I can't believe you used that as an example. That's just flat out ridiculous.
This guy wasn't innocent, he was an Al Qaeda bomb-maker.
You could stop that idiotic nonsense at any second. There is patently no good, not even a justifiable reason to continue doing it. There hasn't been any right from the start.
It's really easy for us to judge, sitting behind our computers, in our nice warm houses, not having to live every day with people trying to kill us.
The message is, "Being caught in wanton murder will result in justice being rendered before a U.S. court." That was the right call. Whatever else you are making up to let a murderer escape is just you defending the indefensible.
As another poster said, charging people with murder in war is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. A lot of people felt this wasn't a fair ruling. Not only because the prosecution withheld evidence, but because they didn't take into account the soldier's mental state after two of his platoon had been murdered by this piece of shit.
Seriously, sending the platoon leader of the guys he killed to escort him back to his village... that was dumb.
The guy wasn't innocent? First off, how do you know? Secondly if he wasn't innocent then why was he ordered taken back to the city and RELEASED. In the military you do what you are told, unless it is blatantly against the law and you can prove that.
The rest of your post is garbage. We can't hold people accountable for murder during a war? Well yes, yes we can when they don't follow their orders, they strip the guy naked, they basically torture him, then blow up his body with a grenade and leave his naked corpse to be found without reporting it... then lie saying the guy was going for a gun so they had to kill him.
War is not like it was centuries or even hundreds of years ago. If you don't want rules in war, then how can you then hold it against other people when they kill Americans and desecrate the bodies? You are advocating for U.S. soldiers to do it in this thread.
Yeah Joe has been in lots of wars in multiple branches.
