Marine accused of killing 24 Iraqis in Haditha makes plea deal

[Thaddeus Kosciuszko]

116. I did--And I am disappointed that you did not assist me in acquiring a better understanding.

But more importantly, you have provided no evidence whatsoever to support a very serious accusation against our young people on the battlefield.

Our troops were routinely killing just to kill, and the routine use of drop weapons proves this.

I watched as Jason Washburm, Sergio Kochergin, Jon Turmer and Vincent Emanuele, spoke casually about how easily AK-47s are to obtain; and their perception of sublineal messages.

And then, Solomon, the Professor of Law, a.k.a., Gary Solis, tells us "about the ones that made the newspapers...and how it happens more often than we would like to believe. And certainly more frequently than we know."

And then, repeat...same people, same articulation; with a swap of words from limited vocabularies.

Captions - None of them admitted to committing a crime

And then, Solomon gives it all away "as long as you put high powered weapons into the hands of 18 and 19 year olds, bad stuffs gonna happen once in a while. And the best we can do, is aggressively prosecute those cases…"

But you had already beat him to the punch:

I do not give Iraqi veterans anywhere near the respect I gave to the WW II generation. When I am at veteran functions, I stay away from them generally.

As anyone who has ever dropped an M-16 in the sand will tell you, it would be impossible exaggerate the magnitude of value of an AK-47, when fighting on a desert battlefield.

Who needs enemies, when you have such nice friends
