US soldier found guilty in Afghan "thrill killings"
http://news.yahoo.com/us-soldier-found-guilty-afghan-thrill-killings-233000554.html

"The jury deliberated for about four hours before convicting him. The sentencing hearing began immediately after the verdict was announced, with a prosecutor, Maj. Andre LeBlanc, asking for the maximum, life without parole. He told jurors that Gibbs was supposed to protect the Afghan people, but instead caused many to lose trust in Americans, hurting the mission. LeBlanc noted that Gibbs repeatedly called the Afghans "savages."

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is the savage — Staff Sgt. Gibbs is the savage," he said."

Sad for all. Justice is sometimes not enough.

2. Before the avalanche of bullshit against all veterans begins...
let me just say that some fucking people are just murderers.

The military has their fair share, too.

Fuck this idiot.


I wish they could execute him.
