Duncan Hunter, defending accused war criminal, says he 'killed probably hundreds of civilians'

California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter, defending a Navy SEAL accused of war crimes in Iraq, said his own unit "killed probably hundreds of civilians," unintentionally, during his 2004 tour as a Marine field artillery officer in Fallujah, Iraq.

In an interview with Barstool Sports' Zero Blog Thirty podcast, Hunter explained his support of Navy SEAL Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, who has been accused of war crimes and is being considered for pardon by President Trump.

"I was an artillery officer, and we fired hundreds of rounds into Fallujah, killed probably hundreds of civilians, if not scores, if not hundreds of civilians," Hunter said. "Probably killed women and children, if there were any left in the city when we invaded. So do I get judged too?"

Ordinarily, it is not a crime to inflict accidental casualties while firing at enemy positions. Estimates of the number of civilians killed during and after the invasion of Iraq vary widely but are generally put in the low six figures.

1. War criminal?

3. Illegal War Makes for Many War Criminals

All violence proceeding from the illegal invasion of Iraq could and should be seen as criminal acts of war. That is the province of war criminals.

2. He doesn't understand the difference between intentionally and unintentionally?

What a surprise.
