And Erik Prince fled to Abu Dhabi. Drone strike the murdering sonofabitch.
Funny, you think he’d be in the “If you didn’t do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about” camp.
They consider the verdict cruel and unusual punishment! I would define cruel and usual punishment as trying to raise a family in Iraq during the American invasion.
“I feel utterly betrayed by the same government I served honorably,” Slough said.
You didn’t serve the government, you douche, you were a fucking MERCENARY! You served no one but yourself and a shitty corporation. You murdered for money.
Thank god that, at least in America, you get more than one opportunity to get away with murder.
The one on the right needs to go to jail for that haircut.
And, seriously - Evan Liberty??
He mercenary’d for money, he killed for kicks.
I stand corrected.

Defense lawyers argued for mercy, saying decades-long sentences would be unconstitutionally harsh for men who operated in a stressful, war-torn environment and who have proud military careers and close family ties.
Your honor, these long sentences are for gangs of over-armed thugs who terrorize city residents by threatening and shooting people who fail to display “proper” respect for their “ownership” of the territory. These defendants are white, so the sentences are clearly unconstitutional.

Some rare justice served for members of Bush’s Berserkers. For all of us who would dearly love to see Dick Cheney perp-walked into The Hague, this, sadly, will have to suffice.
How about some accountability for their bosses?
