"There was new information Monday about the soldier accused of the killings. A Department of Defense official told CNN the man, a staff sergeant, was a qualified infantry sniper, trained to hit to kill at about 800 meters. He had spent three tours of duty in Iraq, where he suffered a traumatic brain injury in a 2010 vehicle accident. But village tribal leaders said their people can't comprehend how a trained professional soldier could have acted alone and done such a thing." [/quote] :bump: [/quote]
Original Message
After reading all the various accounts two things have occurred to me.
1. The attack was ordered (Why? I have no fucking clue)
And
2. There were definitely more involved than the purported lone soldier
Maybe the headline is masking the real event. You can never tell with Special Forces. Those dudes are always into gnarly shit.
Tough situation all the way around at any rate, very sad. Maybe the warmongers will shut the fuck up for a second and let the peacemakers take the bullhorn.
Enough of this madness...
