U.S. Marine Jon Turner tosses his medals

U.S. Marine Jon Turner strips his medals at the "Winter Soldier" hearings.
NOTE: The comment section is NOT a forum to attack Jon Turner or to use profane language. I posted this video and I have the right to delete any comment I want. If you have something negative to say about Jon Turner, then do it respectfully. My personal opinion is that his actions are the result of his training and the mindset that the military wants our soldiers to have. While I do not condone his actions in Iraq, I personally think Jon Turner is brave, to publicly condemn what he has done, and to stand up and let people know the kinds of things that are happening in Iraq. This is not an isolated incident. At this event alone, many other soldiers told similar stories. We killed many innocent people in Iraq and this is just part of the story. So you are free to express your thoughts about this but be civil and respectful or I will delete your comment.

Hey Joe, if your comments are disappearing, it's probably ME that's doing it. As I stated clearly on the video this is not a forum to attack Jon Turner or use foul language. I try to be careful about what I delete. If you are respectful and state your opinion without attacking Jon or calling people names, or using lots of 4-letter words, your comments will not be deleted.

eventhough he is a murderer, i must say he is brave enough to see his crimes and is not denying the true nature of this illegal terrorist war and the outcome

[dedalliance1]

if you say so.

who says they are bad guys? what the hell do you think the Iraqis say about the yanks? if you go into another country 1000s of miles away and start shooting and bombing them who is the bad guy. wake up

Actually, the Milgram Experiment has shown that soldiers (and people in general) will commit atrocious acts that they otherwise would not when those orders are given by an authority figure. That's why Charles Manson was considered guilty of man slaughter when he gave his drones orders to go kill people.

Every once in a while we get to meet a real human being, a brave yet caring person who has through grater powers been put in positions that he murdered other humans . Not to defend his country but on lies drummed into him by the powers above him ,he for a time was like a sheep following others doing the same then he used his own brain . We now have the privilege to listen to this man so we can all use our brains and see governments for what they are. HE is the brave of the brave.

The "Government" didn't make them do anything. This is called free will. I do commend him for his courage, but blaming acts on the Government is just passing the buck. And don't mistake me for a sympathizer for the Government, I hate them as much as anybody does.

[Claire Manley]

i feel for our soldiers!! they are forced to do horrible things buy our 'government'. these men need our help and support and it needs to be stopped! what ever happened to our freedom.....

@blt2013uk you have anything better to do rather than talk shit on the Internet? I never referred myself as a "Internet warrior" retard. You are obviously a moron so stop trying to hurt my feelings or whatever your trying to do and do something with your life for once.

No UK is worse Pierce Morgan had the balls to say that Brit troops torcherd insurgents yet he is so proud of his military brother so when he got caught making up fake stories in the media he denied it then he got fired because he knew making up that shit would have his brother disown him.

wow, you must have 6,000,000 medals by now - are you on your 20th row or 30th row :-) PSML at the American medals, seriously if you guys actually put some realism into your medal system you would gain more respect - in the British Army if you have 4 or 5 you are doing well. Getting a medal for getting shot or for being a POW - PMSL, hardly acts of heroism.
