re: If it was intentional murder of a person who was known to not be a threat the situation might make the action more understandable but not excusable. OTOH its starting to look like it was not deliberate murder of a person known to be no threat. I am not really sure that there was no threat, and given the situation the marine in question might have been even less sure.

You obviously missed my point, which is, who cares? 10,000, 50,000, 100,00 Iraqi civilians dead, who cares about one "enemy" soldier? I don't see anyone wringing their hands about the last of a thousand 500 ton bunker buster bombs.

The ONLY difference is a camera and scale. Wring your hands in self-righteous judgement and indignation, you hypocrite.

re: I don't think deliberate murders by American serviceman happen 20 times a day or anywhere close to that frequently, even in the most intense periods of the conflict.

So you do, after all, think it was "deliberate murder"?

You support our troops far less than I do.
