the only men i fired at in combat were firing their weapons at me, war is kill or be killed. What gets me is the dishonoralbe actions of a small percentage of us soldiers gives the rest of us a bad name, I joined the Army because i wanted to serve my country, and when i was deployed i served with pride and honor. while some **** heads give the rest of us bad names. The Haditha killings were justified, they observed fire coming from the house and they did what they were trained to do. Fighting an enemy thats blended into the population is frustrating, you dont know who the enemy is, one of the ING guys was arrested for giving tips to the Insurgents when we would launch raids, he was a Insurgent the year before but he chose to join the Iraqi army because of the money. and i didnt become a Firefighter because i think it will get me into heaven, i became one because it was my dream o be a Fireman for years. I never murdered anyone in Iraq, i just beat the other guy with his gun to the punch. Dont judge me or my comrades because of the actions of a small percent of soldiers who did such crimes, i was loyal to my country and faithfull to the Army for three years, and a expeirence i do not regret, i served with the best bunch of guys ive ever met, and even though i wanted to serve in Afghanistan but i served in Iraq, a war i personally do not belive in, i am proud to be a War Veteran of the United States Army, 3rd Stryker Brigade 2nd Infantry Division

The girl where never raped and the massacre did not happen? Do you even read the news? http://www.endthiswar.org/enemy.htm
It looks like you are admitting that the physiological imbalanced people sent over seas can do what ever the hell they want and then not get charged. You should be ashamed of yourself….you don’t even show any remorse and you even try to justify your killing and criminal acts! I don’t rely on internet sources; I have spoken to people who are victims of the war. And there is one thing they all agree on, and that is that their country where much better before you occupied it. Don’t think that you being a fireman will make it up for the ones you have killed. On judgment day each and every person you have murdered will have to forgive you before you even can consider heaven.

Too bad that girl was never raped, and the Haditha "Massacre", the Marines were let go, they observed gunfire coming from the target building, they attacked, the way we hit building were take the door, prep room with grenade, clear room. now when their are bodies on the floor we dont have time to sit and check if they are civilians, and plus when we would engae Insurgent forces and kill one, the civilians would take their guns and make it look like we killed a civilian because Insurgents dressed in civilian clothing. The one thing i incountered that was called a war crime was our snipers would set up weapons in a street, and who ever picked up the gun they would shoot, those men were charged and let go. because when you fight a war a guerilla war you have to adapt to it. And the liberal media didnt do us any good.people who werent there and rely on Internet sources (I might add is 99.9% ********) have no right to comment on the War and expecially someone who is not even an American

Insurgents, Insurgents???? Is that the excuse you give yourself to kill civilians? DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GOOGLE AMERICA’S WAR CRIMES IN IRAQ!!! The massacre in Haditha November 2005, the 14 year old girl who where raped by American soldiers and then her whole family set on fire where they insurgents? The wedding who became a bloodbath are they Insurgents? The car filled with a man his wife and children executed….The list goes on and on! GOOGLE YOUR WAR CRIMES MR.SOLDIER!

The inhumane torture of civilians in Abu Ghraib is the perfect way to explain what YOU are doing in Iraq. How come there where no bombings in markets before you colonized the country? You did what you where ordered to do, YES….Who ordered it? GOD? No….Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice and Bush did. All of them used to work in the oil business and they all knew Iraq where going its own path not making business with the US.
I am not against countries protecting themselves against aggression, BUT The Iraq war where based on a LIE and as a human being I don’t understand how you can go and murder people who have done you NOTHING! You are the aggressor YOU! If you don’t like to hear the truth then don’t. But I feel it’s my obligation as a human being to let you know in the name of all the sons, wife’s, , mothers, fathers, husbands and daughters who where murdered in Iraq to speak on their behalf!
