It's not 15 people, it's 24. Why would anyone take for granted that the other 9 weren't innocent just because that's what we've been told? Tell me another.

Just because some haven't answered doesn't mean that they're not riled about this. I'm just now posting & I heard it here 1st when it was new, further research it & can't even post the words as to how I feel. I'm just posting now with tears in my eyes & with anger so deep there's now bottom.

It true that those involved may have been innocents before Iraq. Though some still persist that "our boys are so well disciplined" & this is not what's expected of them. The military is well trained & the boys & girls that were shipped over are not the same men & women that'll come back. That is not the fault of the grunt that is the fault of the system & those that enforce it, encourage it, impose it & see that it continues. They're the ones that need to be held accountable along with those that carry out these actions. I don't think we will see any more justice done here than in the past & the shit will not roll uphill. No one will investigate & prosecute up the chain of command. Our children should go with a warranty that they must return in the same condition that they were in when they were sent, other wise DON'T SEND THEM, you go instead!

I have no doubt at this point that there's been a cover up. The admissions are coming only as the evidence gets presented & other wise would have stayed buried. They now admit that the deaths were not caused by an IED, that it was not caused by a fire fight with insurgents & I strongly doubt that the 4 surviving children killed them. The one death caused by a bleeding out from an arm woundwas the only unclean killing, all the others died from what would be considered kill shots, to the head, chest & stomach. Very professional, very quick & very clean. They were trained properly, this was not the work of anyone else but pros. You do not turn a killing machine on & off as one pleases.

This is this generations' Viet Nam, hopefully these lessons will not be forgotten but payment will be collected & the costs were already to much before it even got started & that is fault of us all except for those that can say that they did all that they could.
