A military jury on Wednesday found a Marine Corporal
Marshall Magincaldaguilty of conspiracy to murder an Iraqi man last year. He was acquitted of premeditated murder and kidnapping charges. Cpl. Magincalda was also found guilty of larceny and housebreaking, and he was cleared of making a false official statement.
The fact that the United States government would ask a Marine to go to Iraq and fight. Then turn around and charge him with MURDER is a said day in the history of our countries. Marines are killers, that is what they train those guys to do at
Parris Island. Marines had to kill people in Tripoli, Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima, the Frozen Chosin, Inchon, and guess what....Marines had to kill people in Iraq. That's what they do!
So when someone makes a mistake, we charge them with murder? What ever happen to casualties of war? Acceptable loses?
And the
larceny and housebreaking? I guess the next time a Marine conducts a raid, he should get a lawyer to make sure that he isn't gonna be charged with a crime.
President Bush should pardon all of our troops that are charged with this kind of stupid stuff.
