Throw the book at him! Totally unacceptable! I would bet 99% of his fellow soldiers would love 5 minutes alone with him! Disgusting but does not undo any of the good work done by the coalition forces! Long live the coalition!

The war is wrong, but every person on this forum has the ability to send the troops home. You want us there because you don't protest, so you must accept what we do there. Some of us serve our country whether we agree with it or not, because it is our duty. When the country backs up an illegal occupation, it becomes a legal occupation that we must carry out.
This man was wrong, he needs help. Do not let this impact your view of the military as a whole abroad. Do not let this story silence any pride you have for your soldiers, for we are truely yours to command. Our decisions are your decisions. Our wars are your wars.
I am not surprised that US soildiers have done such things.

Allow me to play devils advocate here. For just a moment I would ask to contemplate this. There are those whom say " Iraq didn't attack us on 9/11, so why consider them a imminent threat"?
Now if you refer back to history, as fact, The germans didn't attack us in World War II either. The Japanese did. Yet both the Germans and the Japs posed a threat to the security of the US did they not? So with that, though the Nazi's didn't " officially " attack us, President Roosevelt recognized the Germans were part of the larger war on totalitarianism. Now assume for a moment we left them unchecked? What then? The US acted preemptively, the proactive response was that many lives were spared at that time.
Now fast forward to now. Is it possible that the strikes were a preemptive measure to prevent further death and destruction?
A simple yes or no will suffice.edit on 21-12-2010 by Whereweheaded because: (no reason given)edit on 21-12-2010 by Whereweheaded because: (no reason given)

Wow having at go at the soldiers who defend your freedom! What a low cheap shot! They don't all do that! Don't group them in the same all in the same basket! I for one am extremely proud of the coalition forces & their efforts!. Shame on you for such a low blow on the troops!

BAGHDAD, Sept. 17 — Nearly all the tribes from Iraqs volatile Sunni-dominated Anbar Province have agreed to join forces and fight Al Qaeda insurgents and other foreign-backed “terrorists,” an influential tribal leader said Sunday. Iraqi government leaders encouraged the movement.
Twenty-five of about 31 tribes in Anbar, a vast, mostly desert region that stretches westward from Baghdad to the borders of Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, have united against insurgents and gangs that are “killing people for no reason,” said the tribal leader, Sheik Abdul Sattar Buzaigh al-Rishawi.
