(March 11th, 2012) I also included still images at the end of the vid, some are graphic in nature showing 2 of the dead children. Viewer discretion strongly advised to those who are sensitive to this. I personally have an easier time watching a beheading than i do seeing a dead child. It's terrible what has happened and i do hope the full extent of justice is brought down on this soldier. I'm a full blooded American, through and through and a supporter of the War on Terror. But there is no excuse for such actions. News and info below.

(Telegraph) An American soldier walked off his base in the middle of the night and went on
a house-to-house shooting rampage killing 16 Afghan civilians including women and children.

The unnamed soldier broke into three houses during the spree and fired on the families inside, before returning to his base and turning himself in. Western officials described the attack as unprecedented in the decade-long conflict and it risked further inflaming anti-Western sentiment which is already high from the burning of Korans last month at an American airbase.

Hamid Karzai immediately condemned the killings as “unforgivable” and said the deaths, which included nine children and three women, were “an assassination”.

The soldier’s motivation was unclear, the Nato-led coalition said, but the American embassy in Kabul vowed the individual responsible would be brought to justice.
