Confusing to say the least, if they were operating within the rules of engagement, then no charges should be forthcoming, if they were found not to be operating within the rules of engagement then 3 months is a farce of a sentence!

confusing? You resort to that then huh? Couldn't find him innocent or anything else so confusing should fit right in.

It's reports like these that provide the bottom line in politics today. It is sickening, just hope it reaches out to many people as the time line between these can be very long.


Sickening story and and even more disgraceful conclusion.

You people call this disgusting and say things about our military in Iraq and this is disgraceful. You want to hate the war be my gust but, if you haven't fought in the streets of Iraq than what makes you think you even have the background to judge such a topic? Have you ever gone days without sleep? Have you ever watched your friends burn inside a humvee after an I.E.D blast? Have you ever held your friends while they live their last moments? Have you ever had to deal with and enemy that kills your people then hides in the general population? I am willing to bet your answer is no. You don't know what combat feels like; you watched it on BlackHawk Down and think you understand it. You don't have the first clue of what it is like. Then, you think you can come on here and say what our troops do is disgraceful!! The only disgraceful person in this equation is YOU!! These boys put their lives on the line for you and this country. Have some respect!!

Chill.

My family fought for Iraq and in the end for what? You need to see things from all points of view, I don't think anybody is blaming the troops single hand-idly.(they don't recruit soldiers based on intelligence right?)

Politicians declare wars yet soldiers fight them and everybody else gets hurt. We are all angry etc, but you're looking at the wrong person to be mad at.

I had personal family members die as a result in this conflict. I heard news of the Mahmudiyah killings killings, Abu Ghraib etc, think how Iraqis must feel in Iraq after hearing that?

Their country is invaded and on top of that gets humiliated. I post on here every so often and mostly in this sub-section because let's face it, who's going to speak on behalf of Iraq? Sure some are un-bias and fair on here but it seems it's littered(or was) with let's see the next "Apache shooting Iraqis video!!".

The prosecution was further hurt by the testimony of Wuterich's former platoon commander who said the squad was justified in its actions because house was declared "hostile," and from what he understood of the rules of combat at the time that meant any use of force was allowed and marines did not need to positively identify their targets.

Military covering it's own tracks. You don't accidentally, repeatedly kill civilians. If it had been an airstrike it might be plausible. Boots on the ground have eyes on.
