American Marines wrote "shithead" in big block letters across his duct-tape blindfold, kicked and punched their helpless prisoner. They even posed for souvenir photos next to him while they threatened to murder him.

Lol, they adapted and ovecame!

That is fucked up, i think walker's sentence should be reduced and he should not be allowed to leave the country, or listen to LL cool J.

?? He did the wrong thing, so he should pay for it. The same goes for the Australian found over there. I have no sympathy for them. They got and will hopefully get exactly what they deserve. A lengthy time in jail, although, that may even be too good for them or anybody like them.

I see you didn't get it...

Didnt get what ?? That he was fucked over ?? Boohoo. Tell me, is there any substantial proof that he "never fired his weapon" ?? Give me a fucking break. And he went to Afghanistan and decided to fight for the Taliban, but never really took sides ?? hake: Well he sure as fuck joined the wrong side that time didnt he ??

I'm not disputing the fact that the "Justice system" is flawed, ofcourse it is, so is everyone elses, and those Marines should be kicked out of the Corps with Dishonourable Discharge written on their papers. He may have been in the wrong place at the wrong the time, but the fact is, he was carrying a weapon for a "government" that supported terrorism and carried out it's own terror tactics to keep it's "citizens" in line. Bad choice for a guy who apparently wasnt taking sides while carrying a rifle and 2 grenades.

Once again, the US government has shown it's stupidity in dealing with the Taliban, like it has in the past with other groups and governments, just like when the US and Britain decided to help the Mujahideen in the 80's. They trained and equiped todays most dangerous terrorists. I know these governments should think before they act, fact is they dont, but thats what politcians do best.

Does any of this change my opinion on the sentence he got ?? No, it doesnt. He did the wrong thing, and all those other court rulings are evidence to me that the US judicial system needs a big fucking overhaul.

same way as the US soldier that fell from the 'copter, and was taken "prisoner" by the taliban....

ninty · 09-08-2002, 02:38 PM

Tell me what he did wrong.

You can't, because he did nothing wrong.

Of course he was studying the koran...it just had all the pages torn out and had an AK-47 manual taped inside.

...erm, tell me how you know he did nothing wrong...?....you can't because you were not there,
...he was, however, carrying arms for a designated enemy, if he is a victim of circumstances, they were his chosen circumstances.
He claims he never shot at Allied troops....I suppose you also witnessed this?

ninty · 09-08-2002, 03:29 PM

So you did see this?

SoLiDUS · 09-08-2002, 03:33 PM

OMFG

You guys (ninty9 not included) are so blind! You still don't get it! It's a
simple reading exercise and you can't even do it properly.

And people say they aren't brainwashed...

EDIT: Removed an offensive word and replaced it with something politically
correct... so that Green and his buddies don't nag me to death.

Mr.X · 09-08-2002, 03:47 PM

Solidus, when people think you are full of shit...that's not "brainwashed"...that is their opinion....
I read it, teach, and I have my opinion....if you want to insult me, then fuck you.

I don't really think Green cares about political correctness. I sure don't, and I'm a Republican/Conservative.
