FORT CARSON, Colo. (November 6, 4:09 p.m. PST) - The Army dismissed a cowardice charge but filed another count against an Army interrogator who sought counseling after he saw the body of an Iraqi man cut in half by American fire.

... After seeing the mangled corpse, Staff Sgt. Georg-Andreas Pogany says he began shaking and vomiting and feared for his life. Soon, Pogany says, he had trouble sleeping and started suffering what he thought were panic attacks.

1. I was about to post this and then found your post. I'm amazed there

hasn't been more discussion on it.

They can't stand to admit they might be wrong on something. If the original story is complete and true, it doesn't seem as if they ought to charge this guy with anything.

I saw film of a bunch of kids with guns and a tank destroy an Iraqi's car and livelyhood and never get charged, but have a human reaction to an inhuman act???? God forbid.

3. I'll volunteer to occompany these assholes to a PTSD rap group anytime

What mother fuckers. This guy needs treatment. The heros who did this shit( blowing the ragheads away) came back to the U.S. and at least 3 of them Offed their wives at Ft. Bragg. This after they found out that Jodie got their girl.

Disgusting

What if our troops were to do as Bush did?! If they punish this man, they should put Bush in prison! Huge double standard in America for the rich!
