Oh your only way out of poverty was the military? Then be poor. Like it sucks, I know, I grew up poor as hell, but most people who grow up poor don't use children as minesweepers.

This monster should be put through a Nuremberg style trial.

But even if the “route out of poverty” argument was valid, no one was forcing him to use candy to bomb bait children, that wasn’t a command coming from the top. He decided the lives of brown children were worth less than his out of his own volition.

And now he's doing the "but now i have a kid and i think its bad" thing. You had a moment of self-reflection, boo hoo dickhead.

and even if it was a command he could not obey it because that's a fucking war crime

Yeah, that's also true. He took it upon himself to be even more evil than the US military expects of its soldiers. It's really beyond the pale.

Look if you're going to get paid for murdering people, you might as well try to rob a US senator.
