To Kill or Not To Kill

As four soldiers now face the death penalty for killing 3 Iraqi men due to evidence they planned to kill someone before the attack occurred, now one of the soldiers is being charged with possession of a personal weapon while on duty. As I recall from personal experience this was SOP-standard operating procedures, to not only make sure you were well armed but also something "extra" for such an event as what took place now of course should such a situation ever see the light of day as this eventthe Brass will deny any involvement or knowledge what so ever. Oh how shit flows down hill. Not that I think these guys should get off free for what they did, but after all, there should be more than just four fish that should fry.
