Where is the apology?!?!

[miguel]

The hostile conditions for our troops in SW Asia have driven one of our men out of his mind. Will they apologize to us, his family and friends for putting him in this position?

BBC News - US soldier kills Afghan civilians in Kandahar

 

[mrjarrell]

Why should the Afghanis have to apologise to us for one of our people going on a murder spree? The guy should be turned over to the Afghan authorities for his crime.

Oops, I forgot the purple.

Then again, maybe I'm being unreasonable, like they are, often, unreasonable.

Wait... what?

You think his circumstances made him a murderer?

"Your honor, this man had to kill his wife and kids, he lost his job! And his daddy never loved him! And they only had sex once a week!"

Sheesh.

Wrong is Wrong. Right is Right. Regardless of circumstances.

Nope. Murder is murder and wrong is wrong.

When the riots started in Kabul we should have loaded up the C130s and headed home.

Who are "they?"

 

[miguel]

Who are "they?"

Beats me.

I've always wanted to know who "they" are. My mother always says, "You know what they say about <topic>!" and I'm always like, "God dammit, who are 'THEY'?"

She can only rarely answer that question and it's disappointing in so many ways.

We apologize too much already, while we as a nation are disgusted by this soldiers actions, it should in no way affect their countries views of us any more than radical islam jihaddists should effect our view of their religion.

Anyone remember the crusades?

I think its time we quit playing world police for the UN and fix our own problems before civil unrestg becomes the norm.
