Several things went through my head while reading this. First, it is tragic I feel for his family. Second, I'm sure it will trigger conspiracy rumors like the last couple of "Gun Guy" deaths but this stood out,....his quote
"Every person I killed I strongly believe that they were bad," he told the BBC in an interview a year ago. "When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them."He was in their country, shooting at them, and he believed every one one of them was bad? He was part of an army that invaded their country, killed their people, and took their resources, all on basically trumped-up charges, and they were bad guys. I wonder what the British Red Coats thought when they were killing colonists during the Revolutionary war?
The scary thing is that I feel that most Americans, at least in my part of the country, feel the same way. "They" are bad or evil. It doesn't matter who "They" are or why were shooting at them. They are bad because,... well,... because we're shooting at them and "we're America god-dammit". We're good so they must be bad.
Americans believe we are in the right, all the time, every time, in every case. Fuck Yeah.....
That is a "Real Umerican".
