From the article: 4 marines go into a house, kill 24 iraqis including 6 children the youngest 3 years old. A single 13 year old girl survived.
> "I saw that children were in the room kneeling down. I don't remember the exact number but only that it was a lot. I am trained to shoot two shots to the chest and two shots to the head and I followed my training,"
This is crazy.
What I don't understand - surely the US military not bringing these people to justice is intentional, but what is the reason? It's a stain on the brand of America, and what's the benefit?
