“What happens in Afghanistan stays in Afghanistan”

Being one with a moderate political stance, I like to keep my political opinions, if any, limited. But this is something else. Reading “The Kill Team” from the Rolling Stone magazine, (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-kill-team-20110327?page=3), it is sad to picture the depths to which these soldiers sunk.

It reminds me of an episode of CSI:Miami where the perps hunted humans as game-hard to believe and harder to watch. “The soldiers were bored and shellshocked and angry” (pg. 4)- wow enough reason to hunt down ppl as if they were animals?! Is that is the reason needed to do that to a fellow human being?

And talk about lack of accountability. At every step of the way, it seemed superiors just shrugged it off- no one taking into account the stressful conditions of war. I don’t even really know where to end or begin on this topic. Execution of an unarmed man. Inhumane, despicable doesn’t even begin to cover what happened.
