US soldier murders 16 civilians....

Comparing the murder of 16 civilians outside of his military capacity and authority to how many civilians the Taliban killed in that same period is apples to oranges.

Dead kids are dead kids. Are the ones WE killed any more or less dead? Nope. It is WE, btw. I am willing to accept my part of the blame. Are you?

Who said the soldier gets a pass? He's fucked. Not even because he will pay in a military court of law, but because he killed kids. That is an automatic life-fucker.

Why should his command get a pass? They gave a baby killer a weapon. AND he was drinking on base. That is a huge no-no. You tards act like making the command (however high you have to go) pay for their part gives the soldier a pass.

I like the mommy board faux-concern I'm getting from you and user. Doesn't matter WHY it happened or if we can make it not happen again, just blame the man who transgressed and move on...

This story has more than 16 victims and more than one villian.

And yet, you still refuse to answer the question about the black kid who is brought up in a fucked up/violent/abusive environment who goes out and shoots someone and how that relates to personal responsibility. Please, cause and effect...right?

And again, I said earlier, questioning how this came to happen (how he was re-deployed after his head injury etc.) are totally reasonable questions but that doesn't mean we should shrug our shoulders over what this guy did. It's not typical. He needs to bare responsibility.
