Iraq army using execution to keep discipline - GoFuckYourself.com

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Iraqi military commanders are using executions and beatings to maintain discipline among their troops in northern Iraq where food rations are running out, a leading U.S.-based human rights group says.
Human Rights Watch said Iraqi soldiers who have deserted to Kurdish forces in the north told its representatives that the Iraqi military executed 10 deserters on March 26 and has organised execution squads to prevent others from leaving their posts.

The 26 soldiers interviewed in recent days spoke of extremely low pay, meagre food rations and mistreatment that included beatings and other punishments that left some scarred.

Several soldiers said their officers told them to stay at their posts during U.S.-led air strikes and "die like men."

"Some days were so hungry we would eat grass which we mixed with a little water," a 21-year-old deserter from the Iraqi Fifth Corps told the rights group."

Deserters should be shot no matter what side they are on.

Many armies have committed summary executions on the field of battle, including ours, but the point is that they are having to do so on a rather large scale.

This is war, it's dirty and not a tea party on the lawn.

Some of you should leave war to the grown ups and go back to playing games on your computer.

I am growing in my belief that the closest you got to be in any army was being in the boy scouts.

Did you read my post above?

"Many armies have committed summary executions on the field of battle, including ours, but the point is that they are having to do so on a rather large scale."

As to what you believe or do not believe, I could care less.

It just clearly illustrates that Iraq isn't run by a legitimate government. It's been run for 30 years by an organized crime family. That is also the reason the United States and its allies can take it down so easily.
