Look guys. I can explain exactly why this happened. And will happen again.

It’s simple really. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE TOO LONG! Forcing soldiers to do 2 and 3 tours of duty is taxing on the mind, body and soul. How many times can you get shot at, nearly blown up.. How many of your friends can you see get wasted before you lose it? How long can you walk past the same people. KNOWING that they hate you. That they probably know WHO planted the bomb. That when you got ambushed, most likely, half the people in the immediate are knew it was going to happen.

After a while they would all become your enemy. And if they are not.. Why take the chance. Because chances are.. They at least know someone who killed one of your best friends. SO to hell with it! Kill those SOBs.

They can’t keep sending these guys to kill and die, with no clear end in sight. A people that hate you. Despise your countries religion and way of life. And then expect them to keep they're cool. It just doesn't work like that. Kill enough people.. And it doesn't matter anymore. Life, death.. Whatever. It's all the same to someone who has become desensitized.

We don't have a big enough military to do this right. We can’t keep sending the same soldiers back over and over again. Give me one reason why a soldier should give a shit when he knows he's going to be there over and over until either he dies.. Or the war is won. Which obviously isn't close at hand.

What they need to do is stop the back door draft. So nicely dubbed "stop loss". And start the REAL draft. Then all the Americans will have to make a sacrifice one time. Instead of just sending these poor guys that volunteered, back to the same shit hole over and over and over and over again. Shoot, I got a buddy that was in the Army with me. He's been out 4 years now. Just got called back in. Has to leave his life, his family, his job. When the military is calling up guys that have been out of service for 4 years or more.. That is a sign. A sign that things are not good.

That's what caused the atrocity. It's not those Marine's faults. It's the Bush policy in Iraq. IT ISN'T WORKING. IT WON’T WORK. It will just continue on like this until we either decide to kick ass... Or we get a repeat of the Tet offensive. For those of you who don't know.. Its where the Viet-cong attacked all the cities in S. Vietnam. And we had to turn tail and run. Why was it such a surprise? Uncle Sam was lying about what was really going on.

Would you really be surprised to find out the same thing might happen again?
