How many Muslims were killed or injured by attacks from other Muslim's in the last 24-48 hours? Many more than what this US soldier killed. So where's the outrage and marching in the streets for justice?

I guess a Muslim's life only matters when they've been killed by a foreigner and you can use it for propaganda and its worthless when its taken by a fellow Muslim.

What he did was wrong and I don't believe you can use PTSD as an excuse but I also have to agree with Sky-guy. While I was in Afghanistan we had a greater number of civilians (locals) killed/injured by the Taliban (insurgents) than the number of Taliban (insurgents) we killed/injured/captured. Now that was only in the 4 COPs I worked out of so a pretty small area (which actually happends to be about 5KM from were this took place) but I would think it would hold mostly true for most of the country.

Too bad we cannot just strike our tents and diddi mau. Those folks in the sand box have been fighting for centuries. As England, Germany, Russia and we have discovered. They are perfectly willing to die since
living that way they do is such fun.
Let's get out, and reserve the right to flatten any site that appears to
be being used as a training site or bivouac for those involved in Intenational terror plots.
and then 'Oh Joy' we can shoot first and investigate later.

btw I don't think anybody is delibrately misunderstanding eddie.
He wants to play Christian to the Roman Lions and that's his
perogative. Just lay off the proselityzing about it.

Heavy stuff there, Illy

I have a marine friend that was discharged with PTSD. The meds they gave him to help his symptoms made him worse. It was like he was roid raging all the time. He'd randomly just hit people and start fights. Once he got off the meds, his symptoms virtually disappeared.

They send you to a s***hole with a gun and authorize you to kill those who oppose your presence. Then expect you to shut it off like a switch... when it's not "appropriate".

No excuses here though, just common sense.
