this is sick , this A$$ should be tried in Afghanistan and thrown there in some jail .(though it will not happen )
the American commanders think that the people are stupid?
hold on a moment and tell me how its possible for one person to be able to carry out this act?
by going out of his base
ALONE
, IN THE DARK
, WITHOUT PERMISSION
. CONTINUE TO KILL THE OCCUPANTS OF IN MULTIPLE HOUSES
,WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION FROM BASE?
AND THEN TORCH THE BODIES
AND THEN PEACEFULLY SURRENDER HIMSELF BACK IN THE BASE?
wow wow wow
in a hostile environment, where the only reason to go out of a base in the dark is in an emergency or a mission and that too with a group of people with an approval of the commander.
a "lone" soldier" is able to leave the premises of the base without a "pass?" did he have the chemicals handy when he went out to kill? did the guard not ask him what he was planning to do?
the US military would have covered it all up had it not been in the city. but this time there were many witnesses who these Americans failed to silence. this was a copy cat kill squad incident nothing less than that.
either the base commander was aware of this or the group of people including the sentries were covering for each other.
if the rest of the base is innocent then I have these simple questions
1. what are the SOPs regarding going out in the dark?
2. how did the guy manage to go out of the base without night pass (which is only possible in friendly cities not war zone).
3. was he on foot or did he drive? why no one raised an eyebrow over that?
4. Was he carrying the canisters of chemicals and fuel with him when he went out or did he come back to get them?
5. Did someone ask him what was he doing?
6. did the commander send off a patrol to find out what was this all firing related to?
my understanding is that it was a group of soldiers who covered for each other and they must have been doing it for sometimes in the far flung areas that are away from media presence and those killers must have been operating the same way those human trophy collecting kill team members had been doing past years.
