That and his domestic violence charge.
Still, it sounds like PTSD to me and that he snapped. I can't believe after all those tours, he just woke up one day and decided he was going to go shoot 16 innocents. He pretty much had to have gone off his rocker...right?

I think you're going to hear about his buddy getting killed from inside one of the houses he attacked.
Just my opinion of course but it's worth more than a couple of cents.

dick will always try and defend the indefensible.

I haven't defended anything you lunatic, I simply posted my opinion of what the defense is going to be.

You might want to stop now, you're sounding like an idiot.

Bales is expected to be charged on Thursday. His lawyer contends that the government will have a hard time proving his guilt because there is no forensic evidence and no confession.
Defense Strategy: The lawyer is not going for an insanity plea, but instead will argue diminished capacity. He denies that Bales was drinking, but contends that Bales only remembers the early part of the evening and afterwards; no memory of the incident.
All circumstances surrounding the incident and his deployment are being investigated (good thing). There will be a military criminal investigation and separate administrative review by US Forces Afghanistan.

Aren't you pretty sure he did it? Even if they don't find any evidence and he doesn't admit it, don't you just know he did it?
Yeah, a fair trial is pretty much impossible in this case. The military uses the media too much. They should tell the AP to fuck off sometimes.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales will be charged with 17 counts of murder and six counts of assault and attempted murder related to a March 11 shooting spree in Afghanistan, a senior U.S. defense official said Thursday.
The charges are expected to be announced Friday. The official could not explain why the count is now 17, when 16 have been reported killed in the incident.
maybe one was pregnant?

charges filed today
Washington (CNN) -- Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales could be sentenced to death if convicted on any of the 17 counts of murder filed against him Friday for allegedly embarking on a bloody shooting rampage in Afghan villages, the U.S. military said.
In addition to the charges accusing him of murder "with premeditation," the 38-year-old faces six counts of assault and attempted murder.
Authorities say Bales left a remote outpost in Kandahar province's Panjwai district early March 11 and went house-to-house, gunning down villagers.
U.S. and Afghan officials initially said 16 people, including nine children, died in those attacks. The counts indicate that one more person died, though Afghan government officials in Kabul have they have no record of another death.
Col. Gary Kolb, a spokesman with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, said only that the investigators assigned to the case felt they had enough evidence to charge Bales with 17 counts of murder. There was no indication as to where the other fatality came from, though it was not related to a pregnant woman, as has been rumored.

(03-17-2012, 12:18 PM)Cracker Wrote: The day before the rampage that killed 16 Afghan villagers, the U.S. soldier accused of the mass killings saw his friend's leg blown off, his lawyer said.
Seattle attorney John Henry Browne told The Associated Press that his client's family provided him with details of the injury to another U.S. soldier. The details have not been independently verified.
"His leg was blown off, and my client was standing next to him," he said.
He said the soldier and his family had thought he was done fighting. During tours in Iraq, the soldier suffered a concussive head injury in a car accident caused by a roadside bomb, Browne said, and he suffered a battle-related injury that resulted in surgery to remove part of his foot.
He was screened by health officials after the head injury before he redeployed, Browne said. He did not know if his client had been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, but said it could be an issue at trial if experts believe it's relevant.
He and the rest of his brigade had initially been told they wouldn't have to go to Afghanistan, Browne said.
This makes me want to cry. Who is taking care of the men and women who are taking care of us?
Vietnam all over again. Turn your back on soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines until you need to ask them to die for you.
Where is our Commander in Chief? What does he have to say?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The alleged massacre of Afghan civilians by a U.S. soldier is "outrageous and unacceptable," President Barack Obama said Tuesday, and he promised a thorough and unstinting Pentagon investigation.
"The United States takes this as seriously as if it was our own citizens, and our children, who were murdered. We're heartbroken over the loss of innocent life," Obama said. He sounded stern and emotional in brief remarks on the weekend killings made before an unrelated White House event.
Stupid mutherfucker. THEY ARE KILLING OUR CHILDREN. Roadside bombs ARE NOT legal according to the Geneva Convention, every instance is an act of terrorism.
I am God damn mad.
Fuck you apologists, too. While I am sickened by the killing of those children, you can't lay this on that soldier. Try laying it at the feet of the Commander in Chief and stupid bastards that cut off part of that man's foot then sent him back over there. He should have been retired and sitting at home like the lazy POS and drunks we are already paying.
The forces in the middle east are all volunteers, they knew what they were heading into. The draft filled the ranks during Vietnam.
Not so much comparing apples to apples is it?
Here is a link worth taking a look at if you want to see the life of the troops in Afghanistan.
