OK Mr. Canadian-know-it-all - let's put YOU in a war zone where it is
impossible to tell combatants from civilians and see what you do.
Oh yeah, and you can only be about 18 or 19 years old.

French and German imperial troops had buckets of
experience in this kind of thing.

WTF does that have to do with the war in Iraq, you empty-headed
windbag?
As I suspected, you have no concept of what the soldiers in Iraq are
experiencing and just enjoy pompously gassing off.

"The U.S. military plans to charge Marines in the killing of 24
civilians in Haditha, Iraq, on Thursday, according to sources familiar
with the case."

So we send them over there to kill Iraqis and when they do we
courtmartial them?
Great incentive to join the armed forces: obey orders and WE'LL kill
you!

Sounds like this guy's military ideal is the Rape of Nanking.

Maybe somebody could oblige him with a bibliography of it?
I'd bet John in Japan knows the Japanese sources.

1. You requested information, factual information was provided,
which you acknowledged only with abuse.
2. WTF that has to do with Iraq is that the country (with a
prehistory of milennia) was a 20th century creation, first with
a king and Westminster-style government, policed in the
formation period (20 years) by a unique method, "air control"
by RAF aircraft, not ground troops. Iraq was also the single
most important archaeological site in the world, i.e. many
staff of the world's great antiquities museums had lived and
worked there (unlike US soldiers.)

You didn't supply any information relevant to the current situation.

In other words, it has nothing to do with the topic under discussion.
As I suspected, you're just another America-hating bag of wind.

....killing without valid orders is part of the "spoils of war",
along with a little sexual gratification at the expence of the vanquished
enemy.

For a ruling, consult the US Code of Military Justice.

About which, I suppose, you're an expert, right?
Probably from running off to Canada to dodge the draft way back when,
eh?

1. That post was about killing without valid orders.
You seem to have some difficulty sticking to the point.
The USCMJ is not a secret document.

2. FYI I was born neither American nor Canadian but
in another NATO country: and volunteered and served
4 years in uniform in the 1950s. This is probably a
reasonable sample of professional military life.

The topic is (or was) the war in Iraq and the U.S. government's
unjustified persecution of innocent soldiers . You brought up French
and German imperial troops and other assorted nonsensical crap and you
now have the effrontery to say I can't stick to the point!?!?!?
You ludicrous blowhard, you can't seem to focus at all!
Go put on your tin-foil hat and visit some other newsgroup to spew your
anti-American venom!

The troll isn't working Finnon, because nobody hates America
any more.

They're all laughing at you.

You and your half-witted President.

What did you all expect ?
