What a terrible story and something that makes it more difficult for the other soldiers there. We are going to have to say more than "I'm sorry" for this one.

I heard a guy (supposedly some counselor who worked with the Military and their families) say "It makes you wonder who the real victim is". I damn near drove off the road. Are you f'ning kidding me?

The Afghani's are looking for justice. For once I agree with them. I think we should turn him over to the Afghani "justice" system and let them take of him.

Thanks for your service. At least Korea didn't get sand in everything.  No, wasn't me. The alleged shooter had done 3 Iraq tours and was on his 4th in Afghan. If true, maybe those in charge need to look at how much these guys can take. I can't imagine the stress of every time you go out on patrol you don't know if : An IED is going to blow you into little bits A sniper is going to nail you One of your Afghan patrol members is going to turn and dump a mag into you Maybe you're walking into an old-fashioned ambush

Doing something like that would be dead stupid. The best idea would be to load up the planes and get everybody the fuk out of that Godforsaken country. It'll give the Afghanis a chance to speed up the turning of that country to a sh!thole. Just like it was before we got there.

+1 No one should be doing 4 tours of duty in a combat zone, and if they are so voluntarily, they should have a psych exam before each returning tour. I'm all for the guy if he snapped due to PTSD or some other form of war trauma. The military and his country let him down big time.

Perhaps we wouldn't need to send our brave young men and women over there 4 or 5 times if we didn't keep starting unnecessary wars!!

I think our society produces supreme killers of everything. Let's let WDFW manage the war........won't be any in short order.

Salmo, I agree that there is more to the story. I wonder whether we will ever find out what the rest of the story is? We had better, because openess and transparency is the only chance (albeit slim) to mitigate the Afghani response.
