The U.S., At It Again..Or Should I Say, STILL At It!! ( Archived) (251)

Say Chris, hate to break the news to you but the US military is supported by Conrad and most others. The US military did not dismember corpses but rather soldiers who went rogue and committed war crimes.

In fact, the only reason you know of this is that the US military is charging these soldiers for those offenses and the press has picked up on it due to the openness our society and military has.

In short, actions such as this are not permissible and not encouraged but, are prohibited, considered war crimes and, punished when found out.

So, if someone is proud of a war criminal then yes, Conrad might be proud but, given his propensity to challenge war criminals and those who give them aid and comfort such as the supporters of Hamas, Iran and such, I highly doubt he is proud of those criminals who did those actions.

Well duh. You didn't know this? Iraq and the us had a huge wow going on discussing their SOF in that Iraq wanted to try troops comittiing offenses in Iraq courts and the US wanting them to be tried by the military. It all comes down to how badly the Iraqis wanted the US there and it was negotiated just as every other place where the US has troops stationed is.

For example, if Afghanistan says no way and that the troops are all under local law then the US says no way, leaves and the government collapses. Hence, it's give and take, just like in Korea where the same agreement is negotiated.

You can read more about it here;

Put it this way; If a soldier is sent to Iraq and has a traffic accident, without this agreement, if he accidentally kills a person, even another US soldier, he could be sentenced to death. Similarly, if he gets in an argument in a store and is accused of stealing, he could have his hand chopped off. Given the different customs and such, to expect a soldier to not only face enemy fire but death or dismemberment for something that insurance would cover back home, one would find the desertion rate going into double digits come rotation time.

The SOFA also carries the terms, length, troops numbers and levels as well as renewal dates and methods of transition for same. All countries where the US has troops has one with the US.

hence, if one has a problem with the US military in a country, the country themselves is responsible as they are the ones who set the terms with the US.

By you getting to the front of the line, Conrad!

Alberta Ghost, you are definitely on the payroll, aren't you?

They are STILL testing and without consent!

Professor Adil E. Shamoo of the University of Maryland and the organization Citizens for Responsible Care and Research sends a written testimony on the unethical use of veterans in medical research to the U.S. Senate's Committee on Governmental Affairs, stating: "This type of research is on-going nationwide in medical centers and VA hospitals supported by tens of millions of dollars of taxpayers money. These experiments are high risk and are abusive, causing not only physical and psychic harm to the most vulnerable groups but also degrading our society’s system of basic human values. Probably tens of thousands of patients are being subjected to such experiments" ("Testimony of Adil E. Shamoo, Ph.D.").

The Department of Defense admits that Gulf War soldiers were exposed to chemical agents; however, 33 percent of all military personnel afflicted with Gulf War Syndrome never left the United States during the war, discrediting the popular mainstream belief that these symptoms are a result of exposure to Iraqi chemical weapons (Merritte, et al.).
