However, I wouldn't rule anything out, including him being set up by the enemy. I still cannot believe one man, could kill all those people, and no one heard a thing, or tried to stop him. Then, he is accused of setting them on fire, too. Hard story for me to buy, really hard. |

In fact, investigations in Afghanistan concluded that one man could not have done it. The most likely verdict will be that they killed themselves but the last one to die then toasted and roasted the others before jumping into the flames herself or himself if it was a man. |

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. |

He also told his attorney that he took "a couple" of sips of a drink, but WAS NOT DRUNK or DRINKING. Quoting: CuriosityCat1 It makes you wonder if he was set up, and who set him up and why? [link to www.france24.com] The boy in the hospital and the villagers all say it was several US troops. So of course the one's not cooperating were drugged, told to go and rape, kill little kids and babies and burn the evidence as revenge for bombings. And who would come up with such an evil plan? Maybe the guy that came to visit and had to ask his Marines to disarm? Somebody knows exactly who is responsible and should speak out, even if their live would be threatened. This is just 1 incident out of so many across the world of this evil crime gang (not talking about troops there, they are victims and casualties of these wars too). Watch "To Hell and Back again" - great Documentary about US Soldiers in Afghanistan, really touched me. Bale is not the one that needs to be charged and sentenced - arrest "THEM", you know who I mean. Thanks for posting this OP. |

Robert Bales 'engaged in fraud' before joining the Army The U.S. soldier who now claims to have no memory of slaughtering 16 Afghan civilians is a “smooth talker” who defrauded an elderly Ohio couple out of their savings, records revealed Tuesday. Staff Sgt. Robert Bales enlisted in the Army shortly after federal financial regulators found he “engaged in fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, churning, unauthorized trading and unsuitable investments,” according to a report on Bales filed in 2003. Bales, who was then a stockbroker in Columbus, Ohio, and his partners, were ordered to pay Gary Liebschner and his wife $1,274,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. So far, he hasn’t paid a dime, according to Liebschner. “He robbed me of my life savings,” Liebschner told ABC News. “We didn't know where he was.
