I CALLED IT! I said several times on the threads that reported this story, that I bet he was slipped something and he will not remember a thing about it.

Now there's reports of eye witnesses that it was several troops, not just that one and it was a raid, also a female Afghan MP said family members of some of the victims said that the women were sexually harrassed and raped and their bodies burnt to cover up evidence.
Another guy said "soldiers" came in and dragged his uncle outside from his bedroom, asked where is the Taliban and then shot him.

Now remember again, 9 children killed, all under 6, one was just a 2 months old baby - 3 women and the rest men, they say 18 murdered in total.

This was a raid to intimidate and instill fear in the villagers and the one's not cooperating were drugged, and poor Bale is now taking the shit for all of them. This is pissing me off. My heart goes out to this soldier and his family, that's so unfair imo.
