Soldier Ordered to Murder Afghan Civilians

American Soldier Christopher Winfield is being charged with murder after he was ordered to shoot an innocent Afghan civilian (he claims he purposely shot high to miss the man).

Winfield's Staff Sgt., Calvin Gibbs, who, along with Cpl. Jeremy Morlock, is accused of taking part in all three killings, threatened to kill Winfield on several occasions if he told anyone about the incidents. Sergeant Gibbs collected fingers and other body parts from Afghan corpses, slaughtered animals indiscriminately and hoarded illicitly obtained weapons he could drop near civilian bodies to make them appear to be combatants, according to charges filed by Army prosecutors and statements soldiers in the platoon made to investigators.

This has been very common in today's US military. I have heard of DOZENS of such incidents. You can be assured hundreds more have moved along quietly.

@LTRUGGIE What you posted just highlights what an evident imbecile you are. You're also a heartless cunt + warmonger. Go fuck yourself.

[LTRUGGIE]

You guys must forget the Saudi Arabians who hijacked the planes were ordered to do this from what country Afghanistan, and what is Afghanistan, A GOD DAMN TERRORIST HAVEN. Ok so we all pull out and the terrorists were able to conduct whatever they want whenever they want. What do you think you'll be saying. Oh god help us please. Well guess what do it your god damn selfs. There's going to be the occasional nuts in the war and collateral damage. Get the fuck over yourself and open your eyes.
