Just an old story about winning those hearts and minds. Could this possibly create some sort of "blowback"?

Question

Answer 1

of course it does.

how can it not.

Soldiers are not perfect people.  And unfortunately rapes and murders go on all over the world by everybody.

Alqueda routinely rapes women all the time--but that does not make the press--because it is the norm.

When a US soldier does it--that is the exception and it makes it news worthy.

What should happen is the PUNISHIMENT--90 years in one case--should be made just as much a deal as the crime in an effort to show that the USA is not protecting it's soldiers when they commit these acts.--and a little balance might help rather than a one sided story.

. With a modus operandi of breaking into various houses and either raping women on the spot or threatening the family with death while taking their daughter away to become a hostage and a s*x slave

Also I just figured if your willing to kill little children as a tactic, Raping someone does not seem like a very big step.

That is HOW!

Answer 2

This one soldier does not represent our military.

For you to suggest otherwise, is disgusting.

I find his acts as disgusting as the "honor" killings going on all over Europe now.
