What is the general opinion of the troops with whom you serve on the video of the Marine shooting the Iraqi guy?
Here are some bullets I wrote down:
"You know if they let him go, he'd come back to kill more Americans."
"What's with this capturing bulls****? Kill them and end it right there."
On hearing about the investigation:
"Why can’t people just move on?"
"They’d kill us if they had the chance."
"He should have said, 'He has a weapon,' and then shot him."
"That’s why they shouldn’t have embedded reporters."
Soldier 1: "Now if they handcuffed them, lined them up, and then shot them in the back of the head; that would be wrong."
Soldier 2: "Why? Why would that be wrong?"
Colin: "Are you surprised at what Soldiers believe is acceptable conduct?"
Bird of a Feather: "I wasn’t until now."
