Ah the poor bugger. At least the judge gave him leeway to re-join the military...perhaps only to repeat the crime.

The guy was blown to bits, suffering, the medics could do nothing for him, they were leaving him to die a very nasty death........
As a hunter, I wouldn't do that to a coyote.
A bullet through the head was an act of mercy.
War is not played by the same rules as life in downtown Toronto.
Soo we should have sat out WW2?War is murder, especially when it involves invading another country. Perhaps the ones that should be on trial are the ones responsible for sending our troops into harms way.
There is no justification for using force except in self defense. Until someone invades Canada, we have no business shooting at anyone. It has been well known that we are in Afghanistan under false pretenses. When that was made clear, we should have pulled out.
Anyone who wasn't at the scene of the incident isn't qualified to make any accusations. Sometimes soldiers go for weeks without more than short snatches of sleep, so we don't really know if he was even in condition to make sound judgments, we also don't know what the victim perpetrated prior to being shot. War has a different set of rules & doesn't always coincide with Miss Manners book of ettiquette.
As were youApparently Colpy was.
Since we still were part of the monarchy we really had no choice, but yes we should not have been there. WW2 was a set up. Unfortunately we did not know that at the time. Hitler spread himself too thin and never would have crossed the ocean and if he did, he never would have been able to hang onto PEI.Soo we should have sat out WW2?
Check your history - On how Canada declared War - and yes Subs were spotted off PEI.Since we still were part of the monarchy we really had no choice, but yes we should not have been there.

Whose version of history? Subs don't invade and if we had not been in the war, they never would have come over here. War is about money, nothing else. It helped us out of the Great Depression, but at what cost?Check your history - On how Canada declared War - and yes Subs were spotted off PEI.
As were you
No I wasn`t there Goober. Nor were the judge and jury in this case.
But circumstances of the death are certainly interesting. How on earth did the soldier obtain rights to shoot the suffering Afghani with medical personnel involved?

What Medical personnel were on site - None

According to Colpy`s version of events, medics were at the scene.
Do not try to hang this on Colpy - You should have some knowledge of what you post - Is that asking to much - a little bit of knowledge of the events or are you just trolling with thread titles

I did say that, but on a brief look at available articles, I could not find anything to substantiate it.
My bad.
What it did say was that among his other injuries, the Talibani had a severed leg. It seems to have been the general concensus (and soldiers do have some rudimentary training and experience in such matters) that the Talibani was a goner, and the decision was made to simply leave him, not to bother calling in medevac helicopters.....a waste of time.
Thus bang bang.
I only hope someone would be kind enough to do the same for me, in the same situation.
