Two soldiers who were in the same company as the culprits featured in the infamous Wikileaks “Collateral Murder” video, which showed troops in Apache helicopters slaughtering Reuters cameramen and children while laughing about it, have apologized for the massacre while stating that the footage only begins to depict the suffering inflicted upon innocent Iraqis as a consequence of the occupation.
The Wikileaks video provoked an international firestorm earlier this month after it showed U.S. troops slaughtering over a dozen innocent people, including two Reuters employees and the father of two children who were trapped in a rescue vehicle that also came under fire.
The two children, Sajad Salah and his little sister Duaa Salah, survived but were badly wounded. One of the soldiers who wrote the letter of apology for the massacre, Ethan McCord, was the man who rescued the children from the van after his colleagues had finished bombarding it with gunfire, conscious of the fact that children were inside, while chuckling and making excuses for themselves.PP
My heart just aches reading this and then seeing the line "the footage only begins to depict the suffering inflicted upon innocent Iraqis as a consequence of the occupation." And you know there are so many more cases of innocent people being brutalized. So sad.
ReplyDeletebreaks my heart and pisses me off.we're training natural born killers ...then they come home and can't get over it..sad sad sad.
ReplyDeleteMr. Shife - It's really sad because the average American would just want to be friends with the Iraqi people, peaceful coexistence.
ReplyDeleteYDG - Yeah, then there are some nice guys that have to see all that, messes them up too. We should only be in defensive wars.
