Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, a US Marine, has admitted shooting 5 unarmed, Iraqi men, in the back.
Wuterich, and 3 other Marines are charged with Murder and the killings of two dozen Iraqi men, women and children on November 19, 2005, in Haditha.
On an interview with 60 Minutes, a US News/Chat programme, Wuterich said that he regretted the deaths, BUT would do it AGAIN.
His reasons -'because he believed the men had hostile intent toward the Marines'.
I believe War achieves NOTHING. Not this War but all Wars.
What it does to the Civilians of the Country and the Soldiers is to dehumanise them. To make random acts of violence 'the norm'. Even against Women and Children.
Thought for the future...
Sgt Wuterich, his comrades and ALL involved in War will one day have to lead a 'normal' life again.
I doubt very much that they can.
