I can’t imagine.
At least five marines are expected to be charged, possibly as early as Wednesday, with the killing of 24 Iraqis, many of them unarmed women and children, in the village of Haditha in November 2005, according to a Marine official and a lawyer involved in the case. –Huffington Post
This really bothers me.
I don’t mean to be cold hearted. I don’t think that it is ok that innocent people were killed, but I don’t think our marines should be sent to prison for life for it.
I have never been to war, I can’t begin to imagine how horrible it must be. I couldn’t imagine watching my friends die. I couldn’t imagine trying to contain my fear every minute. I couldn’t imagine looking at a child and wondering if he might possibly be dangerous.
I can’t imagine asking someone to volunteer to go to another country to fight for my country. I can’t imagine judging that person for making a mistake. I can’t imagine asking that person who volunteered so I didn’t have to, to spend the rest of his life in prison for a mistake. A really bad, really (I think) understandable mistake.
I can’t imagine.
Have your say
