    U.S. Marines Rally Round Iraq Probe Comrade

    U.S. Marines Rally Round Iraq Probe Comrade

    "I can see why he would do it. He was probably running around being shot at for days on end in Falluja. There should be an investigation but they should look into the circumstances," said Lance Corporal Christopher Hanson.
    If your'e stressed, it's OK to execute unarmed and wounded prisoners.

    "I would have shot the insurgent too. Two shots to the head," said Sergeant Nicholas Graham, 24, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "You can't trust these people. He should not be investigated. He did nothing wrong."
    Never mind breaking the Geneva conventions that forbid the unordered execution of POWs.

    Marines have repeatedly described the rebels they fought against in Falluja as ruthless fighters who didn't play by the rules. They say the investigation is politically motivated.
    Yeah, fuck the rules we hold ourselves to, let's just throw them away and play by whatever rules we feel like. The Geneva conventions are only holding us back from being complete barbarians and we want our turn to run loose and act like complete animals.

    If this guy was stressed, then he shouldn't have been in a combat theatre and needs to be under observation. If he wasn't stressed, then he knowingly executed an unarmed and wounded prisoner. Either way, he needs to be taken out of theatre and put away for either mental treatment or criminal acts.

      "About a block away, a Marine was killed and five others wounded by a booby-trapped body they found in a house after a shootout with insurgents."

                        Your goddamn right that his buddies are going to stick up for him when the shit goes down. They may kick his ass in private but publically they have his back all the way.

                        Their lives depend on the other guy watching their back. You are fucking naive if you think they are going to publicly denounce him

                          9/11 was nothing. You deserve much worse. Fucking terrorists.

                              no this means only combat veterans can JUDGE a soldiers actions in the line of duty !


                              if a soldier is WAAAAY out of line another soldier would see this and tell him this , in this case it was wrong uncalled for , but he was NOT waaaaay out of line


                              he did what he thought was right at that moment, people make mistakes it is that simple,

                                I understand Marine mentality, I served with many of them. I sweat and bled next to marines. They are supposed to watch each other's back, but that does not extend into when one of them fucks up. You back up your buddies when you're in the field, in the gym, on the street, and most everywhere else. However you don't back someone up when they execute a wounded prisoner. You don't blindly back up your buddies regardless of what they do.

                                  Absolutely, people do make mistakes. However, we also hold ourselves accountable for our mistakes.

                                      How quickly people for Vietnem.

                                      It happened hundreds of times a day there and people got medals for it. War is not pretty people and trying to make it a politically correct thing is ignorant.

                                      People are going to die, even people that dont deserve it.

                                      Get over it.

                                        the difference is that I bet you didnt have fucking reporters imbedded with your group when you were sweating and bleeding with the marines asking you your opinion of what just went down in a hostile situation.

                                        You would have been the one quoted as saying it was a violation of the genevea convention and it was wrong?

                                        Or would you have preferred to deal with it internally without it unfolding before the entire world?

                                            The marines rally for their comrade. They UNDERSTAND what life is over there.

                                            Threads and post like yours CET make me really doubt you have ever done any military service at all.

                                            Not only are you a fucking asshole, you are also a lying piece of shit.l

                                            It's one thing to be against this war, it is another to judge a member in arms in harms way.

                                            Fucking cocksucker.

                                              Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were there. What's the latest scoop? How is the food?

                                              And where are those that always scream about CNN being bull shit and nobody should blindly believe what's being shown because its all doctored? Suddenly everything reported on CNN is the straight up truth and there is no third side of the story?

                                              He'll get his day in court.

                                                I dont know anyone that would not be stressed out in war

                                                NOT ONE PERSON that after 30 minutes of engagement would walk away not stressed out

                                                  You would have been the one quoted as saying it was a violation of the genevea convention and it was wrong?

                                                  Or would you have preferred to deal with it internally without it unfolding before the entire world?
                                                  That's a damn good question. I don't think I would have given an opinion, because I don't want to publically comdemn the guy next to me. That's an invitation to a blanket party to say the least.

They are supposed to watch each other's back, but that does not extend into when one of them fucks up. You back up your buddies when you're in the field, in the gym, on the street, and most everywhere else. However you don't back someone up when they execute a wounded prisoner. You don't blindly back up your buddies regardless of what they do.
                                                    How is Marine #476 supposed to know what happened more than you or I? He wasn't there. He didn't see what happened. What does his opinion even matter besides making great headlines?

                                                      i think the point here is the moral question...

                                                      How do you rationalize killing. How is a man who shot his daughters rapist being convicted of murder different then a soldier killing out of the loss of a comrade. Where is the moral line...?

                                                      All i knows is it wonts be settled on this message board.

                                                          Blanket party?

                                                          What fucking military movies have you been watching? Blanket parties don't happen after fucking bootcamp

                                                          You fucking liar.

                                                          Tell me again how you did combat ops in the Middle East.

                                                            Fair enough, but 30 minutes of engagement won't give someone shell shock. These days shell shock is called PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Also, this guy was released from being in medical custody the day before. I can't help but wonder if the doctors administered any sort of tests to find out if he was mentally stable enough to go back into the field.

If you're a marine and you have those thoughts in your head, it's either him or me, well you know what the choice will be.

                                                                                            Innocent civilian?? Wasn't Fallujah pretty much evacuated weeks ago leaving just rebels in the city. I think the probability is pretty high that whoever was shot killed in that video was involved just before in an attack against troops or at one point had a gun firing at troops. NOW for all the hating retards out there, think of this. If this guy was a rebel, which, in all likelyhood he was, he at one point was firing a gun at US troops. He got what he deserved, plain and simple. I wouldn't have ANY mercy for anyone who pointed a gun at me. Let me tell you something else, if I had to make a quick choice on whether I make sure this poncho is dead, or have him take my life with his bomb belts/hidden guns, you damn be sure that he's going to hell first.

His commanding officer does not have the authority to punish him for executing a wounded prisoner. He does have the authority to punish him for a more minor offense.

                                                                                                2. Even if he was a combatant, he was unarmed, wounded and detained by previous troops, which that later platoon was relieving. That's still executing a prisoner, which is against the Geneva conventions.
