November 24, 2010 - An Army investigation into allegations of war crimes committed by Stryker soldiers in Afghanistan has grown in scope to include their commanding officers.
Brig. Gen. Stephen Twitty has been ordered to investigate whether officers of the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, should have known sooner about the allegations. He's starting with the training that the brigade received before it deployed and is expected to look at what happened during the year it spent fighting in southern Afghanistan.
Five soldiers stand accused of murdering civilians in combatlike scenarios they allegedly staged. Seven more are accused of lesser crimes, such as smoking hashish and beating up the private who blew the whistle on drug use in his platoon at Forward Operating Base Ramrod. {read rest}
We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
