charliegirl993 commented on the blog post CNN: Military Investigating Why Brig Commander Put Bradley Manning on Suicide Watch [Update: Or Maybe Not]
I just watched the video which shows the shooting of the Reuters personnel and the van which stopped to help. It was heartbreaking! The troops involved had no compassion, no respect, no remorse. To laugh at running over a dead human being is unacceptable. To make coarse comments about children being injured is inhumane. Even had this been a valid war engagement, the taking of a life is not something to hoot ‘n holler about. The eagerness of these young men to kill is appalling. I, with my untrained eyes, only saw one obvious possible weapon and never once was it held or aimed in a threatening way. To say these boys were over zealous with their duties would be a gross understatement. They gave misleading information to their commanders, they saw what they wanted to see, and they enjoyed the unprovoked slaughter. If Bradley Manning was the one to “leak” the video, then he should be given a medal! The truth needs to be told and our government, not just the soldiers involved, needs to be held accountable for the entire situation: From the training these soldiers were given, to the incident itself, and to the bald lies trying to cover it up.
