Savage Stormwatch: Sam's 101st Airborne Gives Orders to "Slaughter on Sight"

Yet again, the butchers from Uncle Sam's 101st Airborne Division have created a stir due to their utter brutality and inhumanity in Iraq. AP reported late last week that:

Four U.S. soldiers accused of murdering suspected insurgents during a raid in Iraq said they were under orders to "kill all military age males," according to sworn statements obtained by The Associated Press.

While this admission hardly anomalous given Uncle Sam's proclivity for mosque-bombing and torture, the news reveals, yet again, the craven behavior of these soldiers is military policy:

"The ROE (rule of engagement) was to kill all military age males on Objective Murray," Staff Sgt. Raymond L. Girouard told investigators, referring to the target by its code name...

Girouard, Spc. William B. Hunsaker, Pfc. Corey R. Clagett, and Spc. Juston R. Graber are charged with murder and other offenses in the shooting deaths of three of the men during the May 9 raid.

Girouard, Hunsaker and Clagett are also charged with obstruction of justice for allegedly threatening to kill another soldier if he told authorities what happened.

By their 'superior' officers, these soldiers were first ordered to slaughter civilians and then ordered to lie about the killings to protect the very people who ordered it. It's quite disturbing that, after years of becomming used to such behaviour, far too many on Uncle Sam's Plantation have grown too numb to question - or even go so far as to applaud - such savagery.
