Writing To PFC Clagett

HUH!?

"(Sgt. Girouard) said we were going to cut the zip ties loose and kill the detainees," Clagett told the military judge, Col. Theodore Dixon, on Thursday. "I knew it was an unlawful order. I just went along with it." The judge asked Clagett what his intention was when he shot at the detainees.

"To kill them, your honor," Clagett said.

He got what he deserved and now he can live with it. He disgraced the uniform and made our job HARDER in Iraq. He should have faced a firing squad.

Sorry, I'll save my empathy for the troops I see EVERYDAY doing the right thing, day after day, here in Iraq.
