[QUOTE]A rogue US soldier has shot dead 16 Afghan civilians - including nine children - in their homes after leaving a base in the middle of the night, Sky sources have said.
Sky sources said the Afghan victims included women and elderly men.
Minister of Border and Tribal Affairs Asadullah Khalid, who is investigating the incident, said the soldier entered three homes, killing 11 people in the first one.
The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) coalition confirmed the incident but did not release the number of killed or injured.
Sky defence reporter Mark Stone said: "Details are still sketchy and various death tolls have emerged.
"It appears to be an isolated incident and the soldier is believed to have been a staff sergeant."[/QUOTE]

A Staff Sergeant? Dear help his men, who knows what's going through their heads now.
I do hope this man was just a psychopath and not so disturbed by what he has seen while on service that he was driven to do this, either way it's incredibly tragic.
Reading on a norwegian newssite about this, checking the comments, apparently some people are blaming "videogames" for it.
:suicide:
I have to wonder what drives these people to do this. I mean it's one thing if some psycho snaps and kills a bunch of people in his 2nd year of service, but this guy must've been serving for like 10 years to reach where he is.
Dear god, that's horrible.
What a psycho, killing some Afghan children and elderly like that.
Call me stupid, but why are people rating this winner?

Or he's just a sadistic bastard who joined the army so he could kill people, but yours is more likely.

Unfortunately, the psychiatric care they have for soldiers is woefully sub-par.

How did you translate "I hope they're prepared" into "I hope they die" is beyond me.
And not long after this 1 or more Afghan soldiers will kill some NATO soldiers. Nice job.

that's not what he said

I misread, sorry. I thought you were implying that they should be attacked.
Very tragic indeed, I feel for those Afghan families. I think we forget too easily how many innocent eastern civilians have died in this war, I can't help but feel we're all the bad guys.
