:nms: :nws: There's some murdered body pics in the Wikipedia article, I was not ready to see that.

"Rogue "kill team" criminal charges posted:

Main article: Maywand District murders

During the summer of 2010, the U.S. military charged five members of the 3rd Platoon, Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment with the formation of a "kill team", which staged three separate murders of Afghan civilians in Kandahar province. In addition, seven soldiers were also charged with crimes including hashish use, impeding an investigation and attacking a whistleblowing soldier who alerted MPs during an initially unrelated investigation into hashish use by members of the 3rd Platoon. The alleged ringleader was Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs.

*On 15 January 2010, Gul Mudin was killed "by means of throwing a fragmentary grenade at him and shooting him with a rifle," an action carried out by SPC Jeremy Morlock and PFC Andrew Holmes under the direction of Gibbs. Morlock allegedly told Holmes, age 19 and on his first tour of duty, that the killing was carried out for fun.

*On 22 February, Gibbs and SPC Michael S. Wagnon allegedly shot the second victim, Marach Agha, and placed a Kalashnikov next to the body to justify the killing.

*On 2 May, Mullah Adadhdad was killed after being shot and attacked with a grenade. SPC Adam C. Winfield and Gibbs were allegedly the perpetrators.

Christopher Winfield, the father of platoon member SPC Adam Winfield, attempted to alert the Army of the kill team's existence after his son explained the situation from Afghanistan via a Facebook chat. In response to the news from his son, Winfield called the Army inspector general's 24-hour hotline, the office of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), and a sergeant at Joint Base Lewis-McChord who told him to call the Army Criminal Investigation Division. He then contacted the Fort Lewis command center and spoke to a sergeant on duty who agreed that SPC Winfield was in potential danger but that he had to report the crime to his superiors before the Army could take action.

Yeah about that....I knew SSG Gibbs personally :(

I've probably posted about it here before. He got kicked out of our PSD for COL Tunnell for stealing a gator from the Canadians on KAF and then got sent out to battalion where he did all that poo poo. He's still in Leavenworth and I don't know how long but it's going to be a long time.

Yep, that's right. Bailes was 3 SBCT which is now 1 SBCT (???).

Nobody likes CID, but they do serve a purpose... even if it's not actually doing anything about the asshats breaking and entering barracks, stealing dudes' poo poo, and stealing their cars, too; even when those asshats can be named.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
I'm well aware I'm in the war crimes BDE, that PLT was actually attached to one of our companies when it happened. My BN was actually pretty lovely and toxic until relatively recently.

The BDE and the Army itself still requires us to do plenty of stupid poo poo despite having a good command climate.

My commander and 1SG are awesome, as are the NCOs in my Platoon. I only have one troublesome soldier and even then I've never been called in the middle of the night or on the weekend for anything.

Things are pretty good and living in WA is awesome.

gently caress the Army. They tried to gently caress my friend over by not giving him PTSD as a qualifier for his medboard. Dude saw the loving C130 fall down at Bagram. Among being with me in Iraq and Haiti. AND they are trying to send him (or was) to Korea while his daughter has spinal bifida and they couldn't make ability to take her with him and his wife.

gently caress that poo poo. gently caress what they did to me, gently caress the fact that I'm a 31 person who can barely go up a flight of stairs because it hurts my goddamn legs too loving bad and all that poo poo. gently caress the other issues I have and gently caress you if you're still in.

I was on the same flight as him to Afghanistan (I was actually the chalk commander :smith: ). One of the soldiers testifying in that court martial was one of mine at the Warrior Recovery Center on KAF, who certain shitheads tried to retaliate against by yanking that soldier from a medevac flight to Landstuhl and putting him back on a flight to his fob sans weapon, armor, helmet, or even camo clothes. I dropped a line to IG and the rage I got from them afterwards indicated that IG put its boot in someone's rear end and wore them like a shoe for a short while.

MOM WAS RIGHT
So tonight, I had an officer from another unit in the state (he's my wife's coworker), at my own dinner table tell me it's the new kids fault for not being good soldiers, when I said I was getting out. I said what led to that decision was that after nearly eleven years in this unit, the leadership and command climate have become completely alienated with their soldiers needs, and I've been simultaneously tasked with more responsibility and treated with less authority needed to complete them.

He is younger than me with less time, but he actually began to pull the liberal millennials card out. He then continued, by trying to tout libertarianism as a command style, and likened me getting out to the reasons ghettos don't improve (as "the good ones get out").

There's got to be a German word for confusion to the point of anger.

Hang all nobles holy gently caress. I think I'm gonna let my wife know it's against the rules to hang with officers of all types.
