'I couldn't stop crying': Soldier relives 'collateral murder' video // "Collateral Murder"/ /Warcrimes & its effet on victims &' whistle blowers' !

[Cidersomerset]

War crimes, it should start at the top with Bush and Co. This series of interviews
highlights the importance of whistleblowers and leaks in war zones about these
events.If nothing else it will make the new generation of 'Joy' stick warriors
and armchair generals and political 'chicken Hawkes' think before they carelessly
spill other peoples blood and guts all over the street. War is not a pretty site and
there has always been massacres and war crimes. But we are supposed to be better than this !!!

Three years ago, the release of the video known as "Collateral Murder" would change
the lives of many involved with incident. The clip released by the whistleblower website
WikiLeaks showcased the brutality of the Iraq War when an Apache Helicopter was
caught firing at innocent citizens and journalists on the ground. The video was believed
to help launch the end of the conflict, but instead the US government went after those
involved with leaking the information including Private First Class Bradley Manning and
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson explains
how the victims are still seeking justice.

Nine years after, battle for Fallujah still claims lives

Nine years ago today the US siege of Fallujah began. This happened days after four
Americans working for Blackwater were beaten and killed in the streets of the Iraq city.
In response, the US military launched the siege of Fallujah on a city of more than
300,000 people. Scientists suspect that the US used depleted uranium and white
phosphorus as weapons against the people, a claim the Pentagon still denies. RT's
Meghan Lopez explains.

Blackwater troops, as mercenaries, had no limitations placed on them. They were killing innocent civilians with impunity in Fallujah before the populace struck back a d killed a few of them. People have to be very aware that as bad as the enlisted I dividual can behave if he or she is distanced from events--special operations mercenaries are hired murderers who do it for big bucks -- true psychopaths. And they actually enjoy being as close to the drama pain and misery as they can be.

Thanks for posting these videos. Many enlisted men will eventually put down their guns and joy sticks and just refuse to fight here or there. It's all a matter of getting the right info out there effectively. RT and Wikileaks are wonderful.

I hope some of those pieces of s**t that constitute the rest of the military wake up soon...

this is heartbreaking.

people in my own unit (130th AW) got into some trouble for sending around pictures of prisoners chained to the floor of our aircraft.

@.@

you probably can't imagine how bad it can get for those people.

no one is safe.

and when we whistleblow they just f*** us over like bradley manning/

i remember us not being able to watch the news,
not being able to carry a flash drive,
not being able to access the websites we wanted,
use private email, etc.

if you want to give up your american freedoms just join the damn army

P.S. i found out this week that the VA doesn't consider me a veteran although i was in the guard for 5.5 years

Tesla, I feel sorrow for you. Could you explain some of the implications of being denied vet status on your life? Stay strong. You seem to be an outstanding human being!
