I am also a member of a civilian owned military discussion forum,the muslim country members there have these opinion's:

1)When an Afghan kills an American Soldier:The American deserved it more to come.

2)When an American soldier kills/pisses/beats an Afghan:Americans are monsters torturing the Afghans they should leave soon.


What do I think of this incident?

American soldiers are having a hard time in Afghanistan psychologically and now with all these killing of ISAF,American troops by Afghan Army soldiers,civilians will make them angry no doubt about that.It is in the discipline in the US Military that they remain quiet about it,bottle their anger and keep doing the job they are sent to do in A'stan but not everyone will hold on long some soldier will lose it and do something like this.

What worries is me what will happen to this soldier in 2009 3 Navy SEALs were almost subject to a court martial when they caught a terrorist guilty of killing American contractors one of whom was a former SEAL ,accused them of punching him.Here civilians have been killed it is scary to think what action will be taken against him.

I feel for every soldier out there fighting in a place thousands of miles away where the citizens of that country don't want him,they don't know what tyrants they have received liberation from due to the acts of these soldiers.

Afghanistan is a screwed up place.

What's even more damning is all the "news" reports out there. Everyone is reporting on it...very few have accurate reports.

This one is so far out there in left field that it's not even funny.

Huffpost is causing much more harm than good.

Well said.

Those of you out there right now, thanks for your willingness to do those things that may seem futile, for my benefit while I sit in comfort today. Prayers that your missions are completed successfully and you return home safe to your families.

I'm concerned that in every news report I've read on this incident and the Afghan soldiers' "retaliation" for the quran burning, the American military has been blamed for the incident occurring in the first place. This one may have been correct in that stance; unwarranted killing of unarmed civilians is a war crime, and if that is what happened, this guy deserves to be punished. However, it bothers me that American news outlets are unwilling to give American soldiers the benefit of doubt, and assume them innocent until proven guilty. Any taliban reading yahoo news could just pack up and go home for the day; his job has already been done for him in convincing people we are evil oppressors out to destroy Afghanistan.
