Sgt. Joseph Mayo was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murders of four detainees in 2007. Mayo told the military court that the detainees were bound and blindfolded and shot in the back of the head with a 9mm pistol and dumped in a canal in Baghdad. In February 2009 Sgt. Joseph Leahy was sentenced to life in prison for his part in the murders. Another soldier Master Sgt. John Hatley is scheduled to stand trial on April 13th 2009 for his part in the murders. The murders were called retribution for an attack on a US Patrol in Baghdad in which two US soldiers were killed.
So you have killings and murders and prison sentences and lives destroyed for an illegal war in which the US are the aggressors. American nationalist pride tells us that we are the good guys, the rest of the world calls us the bad guys. So when the "attacked" "attack" us we have to retaliate, collateral damage, that's what we're told. The government has to brain wash the soldiers to get them to kill and the media has to brain wash us to believe war is great and we have to follow the president. I guess it must be working because no one is protesting the killing of human beings. War just goes to prove that life is meaningless.
