US Army kill team in Afghanistan

whiteonion · 21-03-2011 06:07PM #1

A number of US soliders are on trial for killing civilians and taking "trophies" from their bodies and taking photographs of their killings. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/21/us-army-kill-team-afghanistan-posed-pictures-murdered-civilians Killing and terrorizing civilians was a normal part of the military campaign in Vietnam. It was called the Phoneix program. Looks like they have another Phoenix program in Afghanistan as well. The US army has tried to make sure that this photographs don't make it out in public because they don't want people to know that their members consists of drug crazed sociopaths.

You can't expect anything else from the savages that make up the US army.

Would a drug crazed sociopath behave like a normal responsible human being?

I would not associate with people in the military. I know what those people are like. They are the same all over the world. Violent sadists.

And have you evidence to show that this was sanctioned and part of an on-going operation?

Care to re-write your first statement then? Are you anti all militarys, or just ones that are from the US.

Other than them having bigger guns than anyone else about at the moment they are in no way unique in the type of personnel that make up their ranks.

Yet you still group them all as violent killers.

Any US soldiers I have met have been absolute gents.

Military personell are trained to kill and they do so. I'm anti all military. I consider myself to be truly antiwar.

Thats great and good for you.

Do you have evidence that this is an organised program like 'phoenix', like you alledged in the OP?

US used white phosphorus in Iraq

Falluja suffered great damage during the offensive
US troops used white phosphorus as a weapon in last year's offensive in the Iraqi city of Falluja, the US has said.
"It was used as an incendiary weapon against enemy combatants," spokesman Lt Col Barry Venable told the BBC - though not against civilians, he said.

The US had earlier said the substance - which can cause burning of the flesh - had been used only for illumination.

BBC defence correspondent Paul Wood says having to retract its denial is a public relations disaster for the US.

Col Venable denied that white phosphorous constituted a banned chemical weapon.

Washington is not a signatory to an international treaty restricting the use of the substance against civilians

Lovely people.

Serving in the US military is about the only way anyone can afford to go to university in the USA (they pay your fees after you're out) so they're not all crazed maniacs by any means.

Raging_Ninja · 21-03-2011 06:27PM

1. These guys are on trial already. Depending on the law when they are found guilty hopefully they will be executed, or if not given life imprisonment.

2. From all I've seen and been told, people in the US military hate guys like these, because it drags the rest of them down and helps the enemy. Most of the people that join the armed forces are hard-working decent people.

This aint the first time and it wont be the last. The US army loosened their restrictions on hiring military personnel, allowing people with criminal records to join. Lots of white supremacists, gang members and sociopaths in their ranks.

Mister men · 21-03-2011 06:30PM

But but but if the movies have thought us anything it's that American soldiers are always the good guy's. I'm confused.:rolleyes:
