I don't see this man as a murderer. He clearly shows remorse, and regret, while at the same time he shows respect to the interviewer by not attempting to explain or justify his actions. My guess is that it's because he's not sure if anyone who has never seen combat would comprehend his point of view. He seems more like a man in a corner and up against the ropes than a coward or a murderer. It's probably worse for him to know he killed civilians than any other punishment could make him feel.

+Gog Mclaine - I looked into it a little more, and it seems he was essentially acquitted. Whether he truly feels bad about it or not is something I could say, and who can tell. Thinking of situations like this tends to make one think too much, and I've learned to limit my time with it, move on, and focus on making the best of my own life, because we can all rest assured that there will be plenty of news stories like this in years to come.

[@arkhxm5216]

this is like osama bin laden remorsing over 9/11 attacks would you accept that instead you stand with him and call us terrorists!

[@arrowhead9000]

There's a video of him speaking to Polish-American veterans at a Connecticut golf course in 2012. He seems pretty care-free there. Also, someone hired him out in Orange County, CA, a den of far-right knuckledraggers. He's on LinkedIn! Talk about nerve. A scumbag murderer who is very lucky there is almost certainly no god.

[@damone70]

arrowhead9000 I would love to confront this asshole. He would be in intensive care when I'm finished with him.

[@arrowhead9000]

He's on LinkedIn. His hair is long now, with a smile bright as the sun. Imagine being a relative of one of the Iraqis seeing this guy act like none of that happened, and moved across the country to start a new comfortable life and looking like the man in a shampoo ad? The fact that he isn't hounded by protestors at his place of work says a lot about our culture. If he made a mean tweet he would receive more social censure.

Why is it ok for police to kill people when their feeling threatened but the people who are actually serving and protecting their country will go to jail for being in fear?

[@CivilAviation1]

From what I heard from vets is that when something goes wrong or a friendly gets injured on a patrol and they are under fire, they'll shoot at everything that moves, because when they try to escape a situation you don't have the time to differentiate between civilians and hostiles. Sometimes the enemy even dresses as civilians and hide their weapons under their civilian clothes or crates/bags. Though I don't condone the killing of a civilian, I've never been in a war zone and I can only imagine what it feels like in that situation; probably a mix of horror, terror, being sad, and angry, maybe even being afraid if you and your buddies will make it out alive.

[@DarkTruthPlatform]

May be a good tip is to do not put yourself in a such situation. May be you get sign up to be a solider and to put your life at risk and the innocent civilian he didn't. But he end up being dead and the solider being "protected"

@Curtis Rupp in reality there have weapons mass destruction in iraq It lie

[@NoOne-hd2iu]

This is what happens when you prepare a soldier for a greater threat than exists. Make every Marine think they're landing on Okinawa, and they're going to act like it.

[@johnfooza7242]

i feel sick to the stomach when i hear of my own countrymen doing these kind of atrocities to foreign civilians.

[@vong3484]

John Fooza are you surprised? United States has destroyed more countries then Hitler and Stalin combined.

[@guitaristxcore]

HoundFox Blade The US didn't get pulled into a war with Iraq. We literally picked that fight.

[@guitaristxcore]

LiL Flexr It would be easier to keep Americans alive if they weren't going places they don't belong. Such as countries that haven't attacked us, or pose any threat to us what so ever.

[@tigergunner8108]

John Fooza you are so stupid those men did the right thing

John Fooza you need to be there to coment on this fool. you think war is like playing GTA ? only God knows what happened and war is about surviving. don't blame this guy blame whoever send them there.

Maybe when the marine was killed they got mad and wanted revenge?

[@th3102]

Jose Barton ah yes thats an excuse to kill civilians. First. off, the US shouldnt even be in Iraq. Second off, as i've already said, thats not an excuse

[@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654]

An IED went off killing sevral Marines than they came under fire. When they breached the 1st set of houses they found wepons catches filed with RPG'S & AK-47's. Seince those Civillans where hiding terrorist in there homes they knew about the Car Bomb the wepons catches and the fact those Marines where going to be fired upon . When the Marine Sergeant got to the 2nd set of houses he gave his platoon the order to shoot anything behind the closed doors it dosent matter if it's a man women or child they all go everyone is going to pay for this shit fuck them let's waste these fuckers.

Soldiers should have the right to neutralize a threat armned or unarmned

[@MrFuntzel]

If they're unarmed they are by definition not a threat tough

[@waterbornesapper7953]

Kitten Hermit maybe by definition but that's not necessarily the truth. Ijs

[@CrackerTrades]

Kitten Hermit what you just said is flawed, basically you are saying if one is unarmed they pose no threat. So from this I can conclude any radical terrorist leaders who are encouraging and dictating people to do unspeakable actions is not a threat at all... hmmmmm makes since to me....

[@MrFuntzel]

There is a difference between how certain words are used in context by the Military and regularly. I was referring to threat in the context of this unit, to which unarmed people pose no immediate threat and therefor give them no reason to shoot to kill when they see civilians without weapons. A Radical terrorist leader encouraging people to do unspeakable things is as much a threat as an unarmed serial killer back in the US. And as far as I know, even the most prolific and horrifying serial killers in the US don't have execution squads coming into their home, no, they get arrested and stand trial before a court. Ive been in the Army myself (not US mind you) and theres the rule of escalation. Even if someone attacks you without any weapons then you shouldn't immediately shoot them, because you still have a lot of different ways to defend yourself before you must start shooting as they are not a big threat to you without a weapon, you can just knock them out with the but of your rifle easily. In the case of these marines however, they are shooting at people who arent even attacking them and who dont even have weapons, which very much means no immediate threat on their lives.

[@TheTurtleneck64]

In this case, he should have neutralized himself.

[@AWood28]

War is war, awful as it is media paints a once sided pick. In Vietnam non of the friendly villagers ever stood on land mines. It's not black and white

[@aviavi4717]

This happens on a daily basis . We are given a green light to kill first debate later . It doesn't matter if they are children , women or elderly . We were instructed not to take chances because our lives have value.

Im sure the 1 year old baby who couldn’t even walk yet that was shot pointblank was definitely a threat.

It was wrong for him to kill unarmed people, but I can see why he did it. Terrorists can be hiding in any crowd so he couldn't really trust anyone
