So fucked up, what a bunch of dickheads for doing that.
That shooter is lucky to be alive. That being said I hope he never sees the light of day again.

As serious as the crime may be, this is not something you lock people up permanently for.

I think it should be longer though. Not permanently but when I see people get off within a year (Vick), I get pretty pissed.
I would have gutted them alive if this were one of my dogs. These fuckers got off easy.
[QUOTE=Theo213;33581257]For those who would like to know more about the operation where Luttrell lost his team mates: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Red_Wings[/url][/QUOTE]
[quote]The only survivor of the attack, Luttrell tried to hide himself as he waited for rescue from the search helicopters flying overhead. He stayed well hidden in a cleft of rock while the Taliban continued searching for him throughout the remainder of the day. He could hear enemy fighters close by, firing aimlessly into the underbrush, trying to drive him out, but they were never able to discover his location. AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters were flying through the valley almost all afternoon, and Luttrell attempted contact via his rescue radio. Due to dehydration and his mouth being filled with dust, he was unable to speak. He activated his emergency locator beacon, but without verbal confirmation of his identity, the pilots assumed the Taliban had captured a radio and were attempting to lure another helicopter in order to shoot it down. Before night fell, Luttrell killed three Taliban lookouts, with his silenced Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle, that were searching an adjacent ridge approximately 150 yards away.
As night approached, driven by thirst, shot in the leg and with three cracked vertabrae,[5] Luttrell traversed 7 miles over the remainder of the night and following day.[1] He remained unnoticed until, falling from a ledge, he was discovered by an Afghan shepherd named Gulab,[15] who summoned his companions to help carry the wounded Luttrell to the village of Sabray-Minah.[1][11] The villagers took care of Luttrell, providing food and medical attention, and protecting him from the Taliban that came to the village demanding that he be turned over to them. The Taliban offered bounties for turning him over and threatened the villages inhabitants with violence if they did not comply. According to Pashtun custom, the villagers were honor-bound to protect someone they had taken in, and the entire village participated in guarding him. He was moved between houses several times and received medical attention from the village's physician.[/quote]
