Iraqis, what does "freedom" look like to you now?

An unarmed 18-year-old Iraqi youth was beaten to death in a "gratuitous, unjustified and unprovoked" attack by seven British paratroopers, a court martial heard yesterday.
The soldiers used their "rifle butts, helmets, fists and feet" on Nadhem Abdullah al-Saqer and another man as they lay on the ground. Two women who tried to intervene, one pregnant and the other who had just given birth, were also attacked.
The men, members of the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, were said to have "walked away laughing and clapping" after vandalising a car and killing a pet dog.

I believe he asked that because you are a militant super-patriot with the attitude of "my country, right or wrong".
I believe if it was an American soldier who did somehting like that, you wouldn't have anything bad to say about them.

Just get back from your intro to psychology class? You're flattering.

I've never taken psychology. Everything I posted is evident to every member here just by reading your post. It has absolutely nothing to do with psychology.
So, would you criticize a US soldier who did something like that?

U.S troops have honor and values.
Britain has been sucking the teet of European scum like France and Germany for too long and hence find acts like this acceptable.

People like him talk big, but are a minority in reality. I bet hes never been on the battlefield, but hes an expert on how American soliders conduct themselves on the battlefield.
im surprised he didn't post an editorial from some right wing propaganda news site as 'proof' that his opinion is the 'correct' one... lol

Most British are scumbags. More terrorism would cower them in fear.

I'm sure there are many other incidents like this perpetrated by US troops as well. A good friend of mine is in Iraq and witnessed a fellow solider shoot a unarmed, non-threatening Iraqi out of frustration. Was it reported? Yes. Did the brass do anything? No.
