Afghan soldier says he killed 4 NATO troops

[moderate libertarian]

because US Marines urinated on dead bodies

A strange blowback:

French troops killed over US Marine abuse video

Herald Sun January 23, 2012 11:05AM

Security sources say the Afghan soldier who shot dead four French troops says he did it because of a recent video showing US Marines urinating on the dead bodies of Taliban insurgents.

The attack on the unarmed soldiers on Friday at a base in eastern Afghanistan also wounded 15 French troops, eight of them seriously.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy reacted angrily, threatening to pull his forces out of Afghanistan ahead of the 2014 deadline for all US-led coalition combat troops, and dispatched Defence Minister Gerard Longuet to Kabul.

US puppet Afghan Prez sends condolences to France but there is no report of him sending condolences to US for 6 US marines that were killed on same day 4 French troops were killed:

Khaama Press Afghan President Sends Condolences to France


On Sunday, Karzai met with French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet in Kabul and discussed the killings and Afghan-French relations. Karzai's office said Longuet still sounded prepared to sign a long-term partnership to keep French forces in Afghanistan ...

So apparently this Afghan "soldier" agrees with Obama and others that random people should die for the past sins of others. Good to know.

Agreed, look like violent collectivism/racism based revenge drives flow both ways.

Random my arse. Killing a foreign soldier who is part of a larger occupying force is NOT "Random." If France doesn't want its soldiers killed they shouldn't be there.

Your collectivist quote is off base. France IS part of a larger collective that has united to conquer and subdue the Afghan people by military force. Whether the Afghan killed a French man or a British man or even an American he was striking out at the group that has invaded his country. And its not racist to fight an invader. You'd do the same thing.

I stand corrected, thanks for explanation.

You are right, this is not collectivism. More like blowback as others pointed out.

Just to let everyone know, two "ron paul supporters" kicked me from the chat room for posting this video:

I just want to let everyone know how biased some people are considering some things even though they are proponents of liberty...

That's all.

The soldier said nothing about occupying forces. He said he did it because of pissing. He had been working with the occupying forces.

It's called an endless cycle of violence. If you condone this violence, you are also condoning other violence. Who is the judge and jury here? This soldier? You condemn Obama for killing without process, yet this guy can kill and you think it's justified? You have no moral standing to say that Obama was wrong for killing al-Awlaki without due process.
