US soldier kills 16 Afghan civilians in Kandahar
March 11th, 2012A U.S. soldier murdered 16 Afghan civilians:
A US soldier in Afghanistan has killed at least 16 civilians and wounded five after entering their homes in Kandahar province, senior local officials say.
This is sickening. He may not represent U.S. armed forces, but it’s not going to matter. Our position in Afghanistan was already precarious, but now, I think, it is untenable. I don’t believe we have a chance of succeeding, and this murdering spree may have been the final push over the edge.
