Usa Military
Is this why the world hates the USA Military? Does this man speak for the Marines?
EL PASO, Texas – The father of a U.S. Marine killed by a roadside bomb in western Iraq in November believes his son’s comrades did nothing wrong despite a criminal investigation into events that left more than 24 Iraqi civilians dead, including women and children who are as young as 4 years old.
“It’s very hard for me, I don’t even listen to the news,” Martin Terrazas said of reports of the mass killings in Haditha, in Iraq’s Anbar province. “The insurgents were hiding in there with the kids.”
Lance Cpl. Miguel Terrazas was killed when his military convoy hit a roadside bomb in the western Iraqi city of Haditha. Initial accounts from Marines indicated that a fight with insurgents ensued and that 15 civilians and eight insurgents were killed in the explosion and subsequent firefight. It turned out to be a massacre according to the updated reports just now coming in. Martin Terrazas , the father, said it is ok for the USA to kill innocent people if it means saving lives.
In March, 9-year-old Eman Walid, who sustained a shrapnel wound in the Hiditha massacre, told Time magazine that the Marines burst into the home where her terrified family–including her mother, grandfather, grandmother, two brothers, two aunts and two uncles–was huddled together in the living room in their nightclothes.
“First, they went into my father’s room, where he was reading the Koran,” she said, “and we heard shots.”
Then, according to Eman, the soldiers came back into the living room. “I couldn’t see their faces very well–only their guns sticking into the doorway,” she said. “I watched them shoot my grandfather, first in the chest and then in the head. Then they killed my granny.”
Then, she said, the Marines fired into the corner of the room, where she and her younger brother were, as desperate adults tried to shield the children from the bullets. “We were lying there, bleeding, and it hurt so much,” she told Time.
