Man if that shit is true these guys are fucked. An already bad situation for this country elavated by bs like this. There wont be anyone being made an example out of at all.

Yeah, they are fucked.

Rightfully so if they did it. If they actually have the finger bones like it says then these guys are in a world of hurt.

Seriously, what do you expect when you put 18 to 20 year olds in an enviorment of killing. It's sick but what do you expect when you put a wolf in a herd of sheep...

Things like this have been done in past wars and if true...they should get fucked...hard...with no lub...by bubba.

sending 19-25 year olds with all sorts of dangerous weaponry in a strange country with no knowledge of it's culture or history, fighting "terrorists"? stuff like this is bound to happen with ANY invading force.

You left out with proper training. These guys are sick if its true but it hardly is the norm. The average 18 19 year old in the military is no where near the same level of one that isnt.

True. Generally speaking the level of responsibility young men & women have in the military dwarfs that of their dope smoking civilian counterparts living at home with mom and dad.
