Marines face courts-martial for massacre

MarineTimes: Marine Corps Commandant Gen Michael Hagee confirmed Weds what Rep John Murtha said last wk: "While not revealing who will be charged, or the severity of the charges, Hagee said 2 investigations show mistakes were made that will result in courts-martial of a dozen Marines for the Nov 19/05 incident in Haditha that left 24 Iraqi civilians dead. At least 7 of the victims were women and 3 were children, and 5 of the victims -all unarmed- were shot in a car with no warning." This entire awful incident is sickening. It is beyond horrifying for the loved ones of the victims and the Iraqi nation, but it is sickening for us and our troops. What kind of monsters have we made, and what kind of monsters make this war what it has become? Seriously: WTF have we Americans done? And what has been done in our names to the Iraqi people? I'm tired of paying for this bloodletting. I'm tired of asking our troops to become monsters. I'm tired of feeling ashamed of this nation that I love so much. I want America back.
