Killing people for Sport

US troops ‘kill for sport’
US troops ?kill for sport? - Hindustan Times

The US soldiers hatched a plan as simple as it was savage: to randomly target and kill an Afghan civilian, and to get away with it. For weeks, according to army charging documents, rogue members of a platoon from the 5th Stryker Combat Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, floated the idea. Then, one day
last winter, a solitary Afghan man approached them in the village of La Mohammed Kalay. The “kill team” activated the plan. One soldier created a ruse that they were under attack, tossing a fragmentary grenade on the ground. Then others opened fire.

According to charging documents, the unprovoked, fatal attack on January 15 was the start of a months-long shooting spree against Afghan civilians that resulted in some of the grisliest allegations against American soldiers since the US invasion in 2001. Members of the platoon have been charged with dismembering and photographing corpses, as well as hoarding a skull and other human bones.

The subsequent probe has raised accusations about whether the military ignored warnings that the out-of-control soldiers were committing atrocities. The father of one soldier said he repeatedly tried to alert the army after his son told him about the first killing, only to be rebuffed.

Two more slayings would follow. Military documents allege five members of the unit staged a total of three murders in Kandahar province between January and May. Seven other soldiers have been charged with crimes related to the case, including hashish use, attempts to impede the probe and a retaliatory gang assault on a private who blew the whistle.

Army officials have not disclosed a motive for the killings and macabre behaviour. Nor have they explained how the attacks could have persisted without attracting scrutiny. They declined to comment on the case beyond the charges that have been filed, citing the ongoing investigation.

But a review of military court documents and interviews with people familiar with the investigation suggest the killings were committed essentially for sport by soldiers who had a fondness for hashish and alcohol.

The accused soldiers, through attorneys and family members, deny wrongdoing. But the case has already been marked by a cycle of accusations and counter-accusations among the defendants as they seek to pin the blame on each other, according to documents and interviews.

The army has scheduled pre-trial hearings this autumn.

Open Season on Afghan civilians *sad*

some afghan member on the forum says they don't mind it, so my advice to you is:

And that's what he does when there's a bomb blast in our country!

May I ask which Afghan member? Since there are only 3 Afghan members, Watani only visits here once in every few months, Flame comes here probably once a month. Shershah and others are banned, I am the only regular member who visits the forum. So please kindly tell us which DISGUSTING afghan member is glorifying this criminal act?

Ahmad i dont know whom he is talking about but in my opinion a mild response from a learned member like you on this terrorism against humanity by US soldiers in Afghanistan, will fall in chill category.
