British Soldier Quits Over Illegal American Tactics

Tweet "Mr Griffin, 28, who spent two years with the SAS, said the American military's "gung-ho and trigger happy mentality" and tactics had completely undermined any chance of winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi population. He added that many innocent civilians were arrested in night-time raids and interrogated by American soldiers, imprisoned in the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, or handed over to the Iraqi authorities and "most probably" tortured."

"He said he had witnessed "dozens of illegal acts" by US troops, claiming they viewed all Iraqis as "untermenschen" - the Nazi term for races regarded as sub-human."

Yes. That's the way it is has to work--soldiers have to believe these people are "less than human;" they deserve what we do to them. Hopefully, more and more soldiers will wake up, come to the conclusion this man did--that they cannot take part in it.

Like Kevin Benderman did. Don't forget the bannering for Kevin on March 25th!
