A Marine Speaks Out "'I killed innocent people for our government'"

This young man states his conscience was bothering him after murdering civilians under orders from his commanders. Not only is he remorseful for their deaths, but he tells us about how they were ordered to fire into crowds of unarmed demonstrators as well. He says this war is for naught and there is only one man to blame, the one that lied.

This interview, from a Sacramento newspaper, is quite telling.
It's everything I thought it could be.
An unjust war with casualties on both sides.
Although the interview looks long, it reads very quickly. And I'm posting it because it says exactly how I feel about the crisis in Iraq, but from somebody who's BEEN THERE. How would we expect it to be anything else?
