Recent photos from NBC showed a US Marine shooting and killing an unarmed man in Falluja on November 13th. The US Marine had reported to be shot in
face
night before, but was able to continue fighting until
siege was over.The action is now under investigation, however fellow marines state they would have done
same under
circumstances.
Q: Does this mean his action was justified? A: No. Under no circumstance should an unarmed man be killed, even in battle. If he possessed any threat towards
Marine then possible action should have been taken, but since he didn’t this is an outrage and
Marine should be dealt a court-martial and sometime in military prison.
Q: Is this how
supposed best military in
world acts towards situations under high stress? A: As far as we know
US Military has done a good job for
most part, but in situations like Abu Ghurayb and this case should be an indication that something is wrong with
US military system.
