NY soldier from RI who was wounded on Afghan tour admits killing infant

I've always thought if it was me, it wouldn't have affected me at all. **but now, I highly doubt that** But you're absolutely right.... being bombed...shot at...but killing innocent people I can't imagine, even though it happens more than we know... a buddy of mine was in the gulf war, and still has nightmares...great guy, but still won't talk about the real things that happened there as I can tell he'd be ashamed to tell... the gov't should be ashamed how they use patriotism to cover up women and children being murdered... now I know why so many in other countries despize the US...

You really have no idea what you are talking about.

War has not changed since the beginning of time. The failure is sending people to war to fight an enemy that has no morality, and in turn expecting our soldiers to forget the atrocities committed against them.

Now I know why so many people hate Ron Paul supporters. I think the military supporters do not have exposure to comments like you have made, otherwise I am sure they wouldn't support Paul.

What? Seems like a case of projection to me. We invaded a country in which 90% of the population never knew what 9/11 was. Many of these folks have been killed, misplaced, maimed, and worst yet tortured and or seen their loves one killed by invaders. I would have the same antipathy if I were in their shoes. It's the height of collectivism to brand an entire country for a crime committed by a small primarily Saudi-Arabian segment of folks.

Further, war has changed a lot over the centuries. Once leaders of the Nation rode out onto battle and civilians were not in any way shape or form targeted or harmed. Many actually used to go out on the battlefield and watch the two sides kill each other.

Guess what, a majority of the politically aware veterans and active duty support Ron Paul and his message. I happen to be one of them. Perhaps you should think before your fingers get ahead of you.

I don't believe he was singling out our troops as the culprits, but more like our fearless leaders who sent them there to occupy those countries. No one can argue against the fact that we stayed too long and should have been out of there a long time ago and fought it differently. But our leaders wanted Dominion over those lands that are not ours so the blood and murder of civilians and children fall on our leaders and not the troops who had no choice in the matter. The fact that they choose to come home and commit suicide instead of going totally postal over there on civilians is a testement of human character and morality of the highest order rarely seen in this country these days.

This wasn't his child he killed. This was a child that was placed with him. He shouldn't have passed the home study. The military is failing to identify and treat these problems. This was a tragedy that was completely preventable.
