This crap is going to happen, we have been at war for a decade now. A unpopular war,a un-winnable war that many of these troops that are on their 4 and 5th tours of duty, that they just dont give a crap about fighting anymore. Most will go and do their duty because that is what good soldiers do, but some are going to snap.

And just wait for them to come home...

I knew when Bush Jr was elected we would end up back in the sandbox. It was fail with Bush Sr and has carried through to Obama. We as a nation are going to suffer because of their greed and stupidity.

I do have sympathy that they are being forced to fight this ridiculous war which is ultimately driving them insane but I do not have sympathy for anyone who does anything like what that asshat did. He chose his targets and it seems he chose them carefully. He put a gun in one little boys mouth and boot stomped another FFS.

You mean like ignoring the fact that Dems had control of both the House and Senate for 2 years? Yeah, I agree, funny how those idiots will do anything to further their agenda.

Yup, that's it. He is just troubled! Jesus, you are being dense. No one comes out of that exactly the same, but how many thousands of americans alone go through this without going on a child murdering rampage.

There is a big difference between a reason and an excuse, and this guy has neither. A breakup, for example, will make people do emotional things, but if someones GF of 2 weeks leaves them and they burn down her house, you would NOT say it is an explanation for his actions, even though you can see how bad feelings turn into bad actions.

We are accountable for our actions no matter what we experience. I doubt most suicide bombers have happy, well adjusted lives, but I am not going to spend time crying over them after they kill innocents. Before, yes, after, no way.

OMG DEMOCRATS! OMG REPUBLICANS! You guys are missing the most important point here.


Combat can't spell.

People snap,less now than in the past as we look for it now before it manifests itself, but still it happens.

I had an older brother of a friend of mine who did three tours in Vietnam, by the third tour he would sneak off the fire base at night and hunt VC. He'd collect their ears as trophies.

They would not take him back for a fourth tour, and he ended up in prison after killing someone in a bar room brawl.

The Dems controlled the house and senate for two years following six years of Republican control of the house, the senate, and the white house.

And remember, GWB still had veto power during those two years meaning without 2/3rds nothing could happen.

Who is ignoring facts?

This is a tragedy and we need to find a way out of this mess but trying to pin it on the Dems is absurd.

I was apart of the 2nd ID, and was in the same brigade as that kill squad. This is inexcusable. This staff sergeant deserves to hang. This guy just put everyone over there in even more danger than they were before. I have no sympathy for this guy.
I am glad I'm getting out before another tour. I feel bad for the guys that are getting sent over there, or are there after this. IED's are bad business, and profanity is only going to get worse. This staff sergeant doesn't deserve mercy. Having been in the infantry, I was scared profanity to ride down the roads. I can't fathom how much worse that sentiment is now. Especially now since the local help is probably gone. And when the hajji warriors pledge vengeance, they won't stop until blood flows like a river. I pray for those guys.
This guy is a sociopath who was just out to kill. And this guy definitely had help. Killing 16 people by himself is not believable. There is some kind of cover-up going on here. Thats about the extent of what I feel okay sharing.
