US troops 'laughed as Iraqi died'

Sgt Tracy Perkins could face up to 29 years in prison
An Iraqi civilian has testified that US soldiers forced him and his cousin to jump into the River Tigris and laughed as his relative was swept to his death.
"He was calling my name, said: 'Help me! Help me!'" Marwan Fadel Hassoun told a military trial in Texas.

Army Sgt Tracy Perkins, 33, is on trial for an array of charges including involuntary manslaughter......

1. oh come on. Human beings should refuse such service

I'm tired of defending troops who are murdering innocent people in cold blood. They follow a fascist, cold-blooded President, and they are in turn the same. That is the bottom line.

Vietnam, Iraq etc. It never ends. This nation is run by the rich military industrial complex and serviced by the poor snooks who wave flags.

I'm disgusted. This is not America. It is some kind of warped twisted hell--but its certainly not our founder's vision.

2. Far from our forefathers dreams, I agree!

We have become what we feared and hated the most.
