Well, not all the soldiers can be good eggs. Not really surprised with this. With that many different soldiers from so many different countries. It's not a surprise this has happened. It's war and tensions are high.

The doctor was wrong though. Soldiers with mental problems should be watched a bit closer.

Sad story.Although I think they should have sent him back on
a suicide mission to Afghanistan to take out a Taleban bunker

so... the guy who abducted a girl and kept her in his backyard for years should be "killed with my bare hands", but if it's a US soldier who planned and carried out the gang rape and murder of a 14 year old then it's a "sad story" and "it's war and tensions are high"? apologising for him?

Easy there Picky Ricardo, He only said it was a sad story , and a somewhat tasteless sarcastic joke.

Its got nothing to do with that sick fuck who imprisoned that girl.

This crme is sickening I do agree.

Now, I don't give a fuck about Iraq or the people who live there...but thats just a fucked up thing to do!

I remember hearing about this, it was only a rumor then. Our CO came up and said and I quote cause I will never forget this "If any of you even think of raping someone over here, I 'll personally cut your dick off and shove it up your ass."

I think the part that scared most people was that he pulled out his bayonet and threw it at our feet.

I do not recall right now the film, but there is a line I also don't forget, where the one soldier reminds another that wanted to rape, "Your'e a Marine, not just a soldier". I think it was a Vietnam movie. They were in a hut.

Rangers Lead The Way.

Ahh, fuck.

He did deserve the death penalty. There is no excuse for what he did. Tensions are high in a lot of places. That doesn't mean you can rape and murder people.

Fucking butcher!! Rot!

A former US soldier convicted of rape and murder while serving in Iraq will spend life in prison, a judge in the US state of Kentucky has confirmed.

Steven Green, 24, is to serve five consecutive life sentences for raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killing her and her family near Baghdad in 2006.

I agree. Maybe, someone in prison will do what the government failed to do.

:flame:

He deserved the death penalty. He disgraced not just himself, but also our nation. May he burn in Hell.

This incident made me think of that movie with Michael J. Fox, set in Vietnam - Caualties of War, I think. Really disturbing movie.

Wow, I'm glad your CO told you that, instead of something ambiguous or something that might have encouraged such behavior...

But how did your CO know what you were thinking??

isn't anyone capable of carrying a rifle and signing his name on the dotted line automatically qualified to be a marine?

That's what Air Force guys say.
