Bob says it all. Here is an example
“But the most telling scandal to hit the base, hoisting the most glaring red flag, is the one about the overturned PTSD diagnoses. Since 2007, according to the Washington Post, about 300 such diagnoses have been incorrectly downgraded at the base medical center to lesser conditions, allowing those soldiers to be redeployed and relieving the military of responsibility for treatment and long-term care. The situation caused such an uproar that the Army Medical Command opened an investigation last month and the head of the medical center was placed on administrative leave. My guess is that this is just the tip of the iceberg.”““This terrible incident does not change our steadfast dedication to protecting the Afghan people and to doing everything we can to build a strong and stable Afghanistan.” — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton” [Stand-out candidate for retirement due to psychopathic disorders.]
““And obviously what happened this weekend was absolutely tragic and heartbreaking. But when you look at what hundreds of thousands of our military personnel have achieved under enormous strain, you can’t help but be proud generally.” — President Barack Obama” [ditto – he cannot distinguish between “proud” and “ashamed“].

The killer was in his fourth deployment. He walked from his base to one village, then another, leaving behind the lunacy and spiritual wreckage of American foreign policy. Then he walked back to his base and calmly turned himself in. [Image]
I’ve been staring at the words for hours now:
“This terrible incident does not change our steadfast dedication to protecting the Afghan people and to doing everything we can to build a strong and stable Afghanistan.” — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and their entire community.” — deputy American ambassador to Afghanistan, James B. Cunningham
The words are meant to soften this PR disaster, to muffle the cries of the survivors.

The GOLDEN RULE 
Reblogged this on Hidden Agendas.
There is some question about this being a lone ‘rogue’. If not and a number of individuals were involved, that would be enormously different and worse. An organised massacre?
Will follow this through, but hope it is a smokescreen intended to take the heat off the lone soldier.
If in fact true, that it was organised, it is either collective madness, or maybe a ploy to discredit the US forces in general, in the hope that it will cause a total withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Who knows?
