Bare had returned to Fort Lewis from Iraq in April to recuperate from cuts and internal ear injuries in a grenade attack on his Stryker brigade unit in Mosul. He was there as a machine-gunner with the 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division.

His wife, Nabila Bare, 18, was killed July 12.

Witnesses testified that Bare had enrolled in treatment programs for anger management and combat stress after his return from Iraq.

1. I'm sure it was an accident.

5. Maybe the first 69 or 70...

were accidental, but 71? Nope - no accident.

2. Standards have been slipping for some time

It's no surprise there are so many willing to torture and abuse. And given the US army now has relaxed restrictions on criminals entering the forces, I guess there will only be more of these criminal actions, both in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in the US.

3. Join the Army and learn a useful skill.

4. You've hit the nail on the head I think

People who join the army are taught to kill people, they are taught to be violent, sometimes, when you listen to people, you'd almost think these people are all angels - a lot of them aren't. I think the world knows that.

6. Murders are committed every day by civilians too.

How can you explain this??

[Voice1]

7. That's certainly true

People taught to kill however have the extra training.
