A US soldier in Afghanistan has killed 10 civilians and wounded five in Kandahar province after suffering a breakdown, officials say.
He left his military base in the early hours of the morning and opened fire after entering local homes, the BBC's Quentin Sommerville reports from Kabul.
Nato said it was investigating the "deeply regrettable incident".
Anti-US sentiment is already high in Afghanistan after US soldiers burnt copies of the Koran last month.

Their version of court is a bunch of old dudes around a campfire yelling curses at the accused. Their version of a lawyer is the guy who pokes you with a sharp stick to make you uncurl from the fetal position so they can get a better shot while stoning you.Herv100 wrote:They should let the Afghans try this douchebag faggot in their own courts.

Not nearly as glam as the OJ trial. The news outlets couldn't fill a 24/7 schedule with that, especially factoring in all the prayer breaks.

The West used to be the good guys, with all that "just war" theory and stuff. Our generation shames the one before. We're lesser people, that's for sure.....

Every nation kills it's own, that isn't disputed.Ed Zachary wrote:LOL. It's the West's fault that these inbred shitbags are killing their own people for religious reasons. Give me a fucking break. They've been killing each other longer than the West has been around.
The question here is about how the West conducts itself. Like I alluded to, pissing on the still warm flesh of other human beings, burning Holy books, and apologising for the slaughter of children hasn't, until recently, been a trait of the Enlightened West. We diminish ourselves in this practice.

Re: US soldier kills Afghan civilians in Kandahar
Actually in these two cases I brought up(Libya and Iraq), Saddam and Ghaddafi kept shit in line. They crushed their enemies, but there wasn't no chaos or offenders would answer to the boss. Then we essentially handed the countries over to these savages(in the case of Libya, we handed it over to Al Quaeda.-Derp), and best of all, neither country had attacked us. LOLEd Zachary wrote:LOL.

You're right, a lot of things make me "sad" these days. It's what we in the Catholic church call a sign of the times.....Ed Zachary wrote:It's just more of you self hate. Go be sad somewhere else.

Then won't you at least pledge $50 month to support Devil's Brigade?Kraj 2.0 wrote:When you start justifying who deserves to die and who doesn't it's a really slippery slope. I'm surprised at you guys. Is this really the best America has to offer?

I'm not some sand-nigger-hugging hippie but I'm also not wishing death on anyone or taking satisfaction in people being killed.
