best part is, is the afghanis, they have trouble accepting that 1 man killed 16 people, they insist that more than one soldier was involved. I guess they've never encountered one capable of berserker rage in their culture.

In one of his books on Vietnam, Winston Groom wrote (here paraphrased -- and recognizing the soldier in this instance is not a teenager), "There is nothing in the world so deadly as an American teenager with an M-16."

Wrong yesterday, and wrong again today, Af-Fuckup. Af-Fuckup, you are just as fucked up as your grammar and spelling.

After reading the headlines today about the US soldier who shot up Afghanistan civilians, can anyone help noticing an irony? There is all this clamor to try this guy quickly and execute him... never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury. Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming Allah akbar, still hasn't stood trial... and they are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: slay as many infidels as possible.

So we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately. But this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13, wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor guy suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, they still haven't tried the murderous bastard... go figure!

Got the same e-mail about an hour ago, Giz. It is a point that deserves attention.
