Robert Bales tells how he killed 16 Afghans

[HowardHughes]

THE American soldier charged with killing 16 Afghan civilians during nighttime raids on two villages last year has pleaded guilty.
He then described shooting each victim, telling a military judge there is "not a good reason in this world" for why he did it.

To avoid the death penalty, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder at the hearing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle. He then read from a statement in a clear and steady voice, describing his actions for each killing in the same terms.
Bales, 39, said he left the remote base where he was posted in southern Afghanistan in March 2012, and went to the nearby villages of mud-walled compounds. Once inside, Sgt Bales said he "formed the intent" of killing the victims, then shot each one.

"This act was without legal justification, sir," Sgt Bales told the judge while seated at a defence table, his hands folded in front of him.
At one point, the judge, Col. Jeffery Nance, asked sgt Bales why he committed the killings.
Sgt Bales responded: "Sir, as far as why - I've asked that question a million times since then. There's not a good reason in this world for why I did the horrible things I did."

Most of the victims were women and children, and some of the bodies were burned.
Relatives said they are irate at the notion Sgt Bales will escape execution for one of the worst atrocities of the Afghanistan war.

He first attacked one village of mud-walled compounds, Alkozai, then returned to the base, woke up a fellow soldier and told him about it. The soldier didn't believe him and went back to sleep. Sgt Bales then left to attack a second village, Najiban.

Give him to the fukking Afghans. This souless mothafukka went and killed women and children and all we are giving him is life in a military prison? Naw, let them handle this. He went on a rampage and doesn't know why he did it...That shyt is demonic.

If I was in a war situation, that's exactly what I would expect...

I would expect the enemy to come in my home and destroy everything, and my enemy should expect me to destroy him/her with equal brute force...

Is this how want things to be? Of course not, but if we are at war, how can we not expect the worse...?
