Yeah... What are we fighting for again?

"We don't do this. This is not how we're trained. This is not the Army," military prosecutor Capt. Andre Leblanc said in Morlock’s hearing, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Instead of providing these people with the security they needed, instead of building relationships of trust, instead of doing the job we expect of our professional soldiers, the accused and co-accused decided to engage in acts of unspeakable cruelty."

Tell that to the ones suffering from PTSD. Tell that to the lives snuffed out because one platoon leader decided to snap. We've been in foreign lands for too long, for a war that was fought on false pretenses. Cookie for you, but it's time to end a war that is stupid beyond all means.
