Sgt. Robert Bales and the Trauma of Repeat Deployments

Video

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Does Robert Bales, the army staff sergeant who allegedly killed 17 Afghan civilians on March 11, symbolize a larger problem in our military ranks? In this web-exclusive video, Vietnam veteran and military scholar Andrew Bacevich talks with Bill Moyers about Bales' accountability, the stress of repeated tours on soldiers, and how war itself 'compromises our humanity.' This weekend on public television, Moyers and Bacevich explore the futility of 'endless' wars, and provide a reality check on the rhetoric of American exceptionalism.''

Evidence Mounts That Afghan Massacre Was Linked to Special Operations Forces' Response to Improvised Explosive Device

Gareth Porter and Shah Nouri, Truthout: ''Interviews with survivors, relatives of the civilians massacred in Panjwai on March 11 ... add new evidence suggesting that the massacre was linked to the response by the US Special Operations Forces (SOF) unit to a roadside bomb that had blown up a US troop carrier three days earlier. The brother of one of those killed said that the victim had been warned by a US soldier at a checkpoint near the Special Forces camp that the Americans knew his vineyard was very close to where the improvised explosive device (IED) exploded.''

Obama s Afghanistan massacre deniers

Reason
by Terry Michael

03/20/12)

Just as their 'conservative' predecessors tried to erase from collective memory the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and the Abu Ghraib prison torture in Iraq, these 'liberals' attempt to excise from memory American Marines urinating on dead Muslims and the rampage by the four-times-deployed Bales in Afghanistan. They give themselves political cover and comfort with the illusion that this was just an isolated incident, involving a lone gunman, killing children, in a distant Afghan village, where America is, after all, only pursuing the worthy mission of spreading democracy...

Massacre fatigue in Afghanistan

CounterPunch

Americans have been expressing bafflement that there has not been more outrage in Afghanistan about the latest lethal rampage. Afghans could be forgiven for suffering 'massacre fatigue,' precisely because 'authorized military activity' by US troops and special forces in Afghanistan has long since degenerated into a lethal culture of assassination, 'revenge' sorties, desecration of bodies, harvesting of trophies such as severed fingers, ears and the like. In the recent past Afghans have also been able to study photographs of laughing American soldiers pissing on the bodies of dead Afghans...

Ralph Lopez, War Is A Crime: ''The Army is keeping mum on whether the Army sergeant who went on a rampage in Afghanistan has ever been evaluated or asked for evaluation for PTSD, but it is well known that in recent years the culture of the military has been to sweep such problems under the rug, in order to redeploy as many soldiers as possible. The Army has acknowledged that the soldier had been diagnosed with a 'traumatic brain injury' after a vehicle rollover in Iraq.''

The shooting risks further inciting anti-American sentiment in Afghanistan and troubling a relationship that had already been brought to a new low by the burning of Korans at an American military base last month.''

03/12/12

A major factor in the increasing level of criminality in our armed forces has got to be the apparent immunity of our political elites from the rule of law. In spite of the boasting of former Vice President Dick Cheney that he personally approved and authorized torture, the Obama administration has refused to indict him, even though he has violated US law. Others who participated, the lawyers who justified it, the officers who covered it up, have been granted similar immunity. In short, these guys are getting away with it, so why shouldn t the grunts?
