WHEN DID MURDER BECOME THE NORM?
I am absolutely appalled by some people's lack of morals when it comes to right or wrong.
After reading an article in the paper--in regards to a 22-year-old Marine's conviction in the apparent death of an Iraqi civilian--I wonder just where did some of his supporters leave their common sense?
In a tree? Behind a rock? Buried six feet under? Where did it go?
When did it become a celebrated event for a murderer to be cheered on as a war hero--because his direct actions led to the death of an innocent?
Can anyone explain to me why murdering Iraqis in cold blood is now considered a badge of honor for our serving men and women in uniform?
When did we stop being human beings and started acting like blood-thirsty animals? Are we wolves preying on the weak and helpless now?
Or are we going to start taking real responsibility by condemning those who have committed grave crimes against humanity--instead of rewarding them with a slap on the wrist and the Congressional Medal of Honor?
Until we stop treating Iraqi civilians like they are nothing more than the dirt beneath our feet, we will continue to take heavy losses and pain in this backwards war--each and every day for as long as this conflict lasts.
