Army Won't Prosecute 17 Soldiers In Detainee Deaths
Army Says 27 Detainees Have Died While In U.S. Military Custody
snip...
"We've investigated ourselves and we've decided we're not guilty. After
all, you don't count the dead when Jesus is on your side."


The US militart has declared itself 'above the law'. The pilot who
disobeyed orders and attacked a Canadian unit, killing four with his bombs,
lost a months pay. He has never apologized.

That came under the heading of "**** happens in war", Don. Apologies are not
required.

(I assume you know a cynical remark when you see it).

Yes....trouble is, there's a sizeable group of characters in here who really
do believe that psychology.

I doubt there is anyone here who is happy about the Canadians getting killed. It
was a damn shame. I'm sorry it happened, for both the Canadians and the pilots.

Well, I imagine there is at least one or two here who *were* happy with the
news. It gave them more ammunition in their 'hate the military' campaign.

How do you know they never apologized? Do you mean to say they never 'publicly'
apologized?

I wonder if that drunk Canadian boater from Leamington ever apologized to
the families of the Americans he killed in a boating accident on the US side
of Lake Erie a few years back?

The parents of one of their victims said so this month in the local paper.
Do you think it's the fault of the surviving parents...maybe not listening
hard enough?

Which indicates they didn't apologize to the parents. They may well have
apologized to the Canadian unit commander or other mates of the individuals.

or to the barmaid at their local legion, or to their own families for
putting them through this distasteful business......or maybe the guy on the
street corner who bums for spare change...

If the US military were above the law, why would they prosecute anyone? Why
would they even bother to gather documents for newspapers under the Freedom of
Information Act? (Especially when said documents can be used to 'incriminate'
the military.)

I doubt if the prisoners at Fort Leavenworth or any of the other multiple
military prisons agree with your premise.
