As a former vet, in a couple of recent conflicts, I can tell you that all too often this happens. And what that "soldier" is saying, in my book is pure BS. He knew very well what he was doing, unfortunately, in war-zones, we see this crap, over and over again. Some people, given a gun, and apparent "freedom", behave like the sick psychopaths they are. I saw many slimier cases in Bosnia, fortunately it did not involve units from Canada, or the USA.
I personally would turn him over, to what remains of that poor family's relatives, to do with him what they pleased.

How about you serve first, then ask that question.
Sorry, I refuse to be a slave.
I will never serve in an army which talks about safeguarding freedom, then turns the soldiers who are safeguarding freedom in to slaves.
If someone comes and invades New Zealand, I will fight with all my might

I don't think American soldiers are brainwashed to do what this sick individual did. It might also just be his own personal views of not thinking of them as humans, that goes to show how wrong and sick he is.
This shows how little you know of actual warfare. You cannot kill a person if you respect life. So you must learn to not respect it and that is done by dehumanizing the enemy during training. Ever seen military training videos?
Of course nobody is brainwashed into raping 14 year olds. But they are brainwashed into thinking that 14 year old is not a fellow HUMAN.

What an appalling statement. The United States sends 300,000 soldiers over to Iraq and a handfull of jackasses become Dr. Jeckyl, and all of a sudden all US soldiers are brainwashed monsters? What a cowardly statement, to attack the people that so many of us hold in the highest regard. The US soldier trades his/her freedom to preserve liberty and freedom, they stare death in the face and risk everything so that we might not know the horrors of war.
Just off hand, I was wondering who you might thank for your freedom to so ably and openly express your distorted oppinion? I am not sure where you reside or which land you call home, but I am most definitely sure that you owe the US soldier a debt of gratitude for any freedoms you so carelessly take for granted.
Don't worry though, I am here to offer respect in your stead, seeing as you have none ( you mindless, brainwashed zombie).

Yes it's their fault but who put these soldiers there in the first place when the war is clearly illegal?

There is no enemy, there is no goal and with all the millitary advancement one would have thought that civillians will be less targeted.
WW1 - 10% civillian casualties
WW2 - 50% civillian casualties
Vietnam - 70% civillian casualties
Iraq - 90% civillian casualties
People lie, but numbers don't lie.
