Well i sure hope this bastard gets what he deservers. I hope he doesnot get away with this crime but if you want to use the hardships of war then the same criteria applies on suicide bombers in Palestine as well since they have been in state of war for the last 50+ years. What would that do to a person if this bastard lost it in two years ?

A handful in the military? I bet there is more than a “handful,” in the civilian community. I think some of our doctor’s have this problem, along with lawyers, cops, and other murderers you see in prison who never served in the military.

I realize the severity of the crimes but i am from Midland TX where steve Green is from and i’ve known him since he was 10 and not once did i see any of those so called signs of a disorder. he was always calm and collected…. and always respectful of me a woman and other girls around him as well. and i also hope you realize that he wasnt the only one in that room when that stuff went down hes just the one out of the military so hes getting all the flack for it! but also you have to realize that you become a different person when you are in war. you go in yourself and you come out this hardcore emotionless person because your are trained to be that way. my brother went in to the army a kid and came out a man with no emotions…. hes ok now but that kind of stuff changes people

I think he is okay too - meaning that war effects people including the intensity I hope he doesn’t get the death sentence… the military should realize how those places, Iraq and war effects people

All these youth,guys sent to Iraq to fight fight fight in a “bloodthirst” the officals are ordering, and then when it gets a little out of hand they(the officails) are surprised, but all the young soldiers are in the midst of war there in Iraq, how are they meant to deal with it? Seeing and experiencing their friends die, and people around them, bloodshed, and yes, people in Iraq “at least some” hating and killing too- did anyone forget that? Why do they just send troops for some Iraqi reason and then forget about the troops like now it’s American boys to kill? Or I’ve gone through Heathrow in England around a time when “terrorists” were trying to bomb planes(a year after they bomb the subways and buses in UK),& I’m quite aware of the wild eyes of terrorists threatening to kill- who do then kill, so America sends troops, why can’t the powers that be “handle it when IT REALLY SEEPS INTO THE MINDS OF THOSE TROOPS. I actually can’t believe after they send troops, guys, youth for the purpose high officals say they have, because Iraqi also fight and KILL, it really goes to some of those guys heads, the troops, because they might not be able to help it as they are trained that way because they WERE SENT TO be “mean,” to fire a gun, TRAINED TO, they then make a “big wild story” out of this guy, Steve Green saying “i’m going to iraq to kill them all” which he’s probably kidding, but they want him to say that and a lot of youth, guys and troops, to say that- just because Steve Green really accidentally somehow takes it in, why do they, the government not realize that is what they are cramming and pumping into the minds and hearts of the troops and people! why even have a war? If they’re going to make some kid (excuse me- for sake of wording), out to seem so bad after he’s taken out of the army, for sake of effect and to make it seem worse and story - it’s really messed up there in Iraq, I’m sure someone is supposed to take it in or handle it a little hard? He seems more of a scapegoat, because I doubt he really was “messed up” in Texas, before he left, and what does the war expect? Military officals, or others in the military act worse even because they are supposed to or told to. Then one “kid” does it by accident in a way, because something gets to his head, yet even some higher ups do “wayward, who cars who we shoot killing” and they get away with it. Anyone watched any movie or even your regular TV show lately, childrens’ programming? Machine guns shot off every day even on those tv shows. I’m sure this isn’t really? fair, why did they start a war in the first place -if the government and officals, and whoever, arn’t going to be a little more responsible for it?

Sorry, I don’t meant they should take responsibility for it, what I mean is he looks a little scared and really nervous like he knows he did something wrong which i compleatly don’t like the way it seems to feel. If Iraqi people “follow god” to kill people “FOLLOW GOD” for it, why can’t they see some of their soldiers might get taken up by the same “strange thing” follow it too- the US. Some people MIGHT EVEN SAY “THEY’LL KILL THEM ALL” BECAUSE THEY SEE IT IS LIKE THAT, maybe BECAUSE OF THAT THEY SHOULDN’T OR SOMEHOW FEEL THEY SHOULDN’T mind if THEY KILL THEM ALL. US MILITARY: “YOU SEND THEM THERE FOR THAT- THAT IS WHY IT COULD AND IT’S GOING TO GET TO SOME OF THEIR HEADS,

That is why I think Iraqi people understand almost what he or THEY did… and now they’re going to bomb you, like the US, and LAUGH that the US would destroy one of their soldiers who fought them! What if it changed something in their minds,what the US boy soldiers did, if the soldiers go there to… fight THE IRAQI’S that is why it could effect their heads, or this guy, BECAUSE THEY end up standing there in the land of all the Iraqi, looking into their eyes, maybe some of the Iraqi males even play with looking at them, taunt them, tease them… or just challenge them. THE IRAQI PEOPLE GO REALLY FAR OUT TO- TO GREAT LEANGTH’S TO FOLLOW THEIR GOD THAT THEY DO… I hope if Steven Green feels this way and if it’s true I hope he is telling them and expressing all of this now… they really didn’t have anyone to talk to there and they knew their friends were just tourtured AND ALWAYS GETTING KILLED. HE looks a little wired because of that! Get good lawyer man!

Or I don’t mean get a good lawyer or to point out that soldiers all around them are killed, but it looks like almost a game to Bush almost

Or I don’t mean get a good lawyer they need to do better psych evals if they even play a war, but it looks like almost a game to Bush if they just do anything they want now.. i should have not wrote anymore after writing about the Iraqi’s following their god to do killing crazy things

I’m sure a couple of those times before he went to Iraq he was just being obnoxious, look at the common - a common thought in that place, Texas is full of guns, he should be in a mental gaurded hospital now - not on any row, if that is his aggression, which it’s not his like he owns it, or his souls, they should not have a war if after they come back they won’t stand up for liking aggression or the willingness to fight after they come back

Before he went to Iraq, people don’t always talk for a reason, from the words i wrote above I can tell where at least one of my friends of mine might agree with me, her brother almost went to Iraq, but for some reason I haven’t talked to her in a while, sometimes people get hurt or take things personally too much, like in a way we do, if he was like that before he went to Iraq, that’s all it is he doesn’t look like he would do anything like those school killings now, like that kind of a person or like that now

You all are obviously missing the point, and do not understand the idea of mental illness. This type of illness is NOT easily treatable nor is it EASILY recognized. This has nothing to do with Bush, nor the war. It is an Illness. A treatable one at that. However you don’t treat a mental illness for a month and send them back in the field, in a “Death Zone”. The stress of that situation will exceed any medication on the market or off. Get a grip folks. The mentally ill need help, just like those with heart disease. There is an immediate need, and an immediate threat, which requires long term treatment, and avoidance of any situation which might inflame the condition. PERIOD. Thanks………

Then if they didn’t let him relax or get a break, which he probably was saying he couldn’t by then or wouldn’t as the same thing because there is a reason for pent up pain and frustration which he was feeling then, then it’s their fault, not his….. sorry to Bush, but if you leave behind one lone guy to fend for himself after he was trying to express himself and no one listened… then that description of what a mental illness is and how to help it and treat it better be enough to defend him in court as far as his life goes. Because that is not his fault. IF you understand mental illness so much, anyone, then do they also understand feeling frustrated from the pain and whatever else he was feeling and having a friend die in front of you, or two or three or almost them themselves and all those millions of really powerful feelings to go with… and that really sucks because the words “really powerful” sound only like they’d be used against him, but do any of these really judging or opinionated people get how it might feel to be invited to fight in a war, taught to be against people have your friends and surrounded people you definitly do by then know brains and hearts and sorry everything splattered everywhere on you and all around you by people you thought you knew or just anyone and then have his own country pretty much defend those people who did it. any of you ever loose a close one somehow, did you want to repel others who didn’t understand, or feel a little hurt to say the least at those or about those who did it? including that they might bomb the countriees who were the reason he went there in the first place? like do people, can people please defend that or what you want to like those who might have just blown up your neighbor or neighboring country where your friends might be and family and you and you can look in the eyes of the ones taunthing with the bombs that 20,000 and all these troops, numbers not being important are still going and once did go at least you better defend him this guy you shouldn’t rip apart at least and yeah so they should worry a little about that mental illness of his , like they should care the army and all you and bush

Or sorry, and no more defending

There is absolutely no excuse for what he and the others did. I read about what happened in depth and it is pretty sickening. Social Disorder or not, he was supposedly the only one who was diagnosed, and the others participated as well. Though he was the only one out of the 5 soldiers that did participate, that killed the whole family. He was the one that shot that little 14 yr old girl’s family, while Paul Cortez and James Barker were raping the poor child. She heard the shots. Then Green came in to announce he had killed her family. Including the girl’s 5 yr old sister. Green then raped the 14 yr old while Cortez held her down on the floor. As soon as Green was finished, he shot her in the head a few times.

War or not, there is no excuse. These people were civlians, not soldiers. Disorders should not be excusable. Also, not everyone is qualified to be able to diagonse disorders. So knowing someone from a mid size town, does not really count. I am sure there are family members that never knew one of their own, was capable of harming others. Happens all the time in the US, where people are shocked at what people they have known all their lives have done.

Also, to address the statment about them not being able to relax…they were playing cards, drinking Iraqi whiskey with an energy drink, and hitting golfballs that day. Be better educated about what you are writing, when you submit things. Just a suggestion.

To Brandi — Could you be any more pathetic? Steven Green is the lowest for of human life. Actually, I’m not even sure you could classify him as a human being. Like all sociopaths, he lacks any conscience. He STALKED and PRE-PLANNED the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl. And he raped her AFTER he shot and killed her 6-year-old sister and her parents in cold blood. She KNEW they had been killed and then she was raped by this worthless trash. And then he killed her when he was done defiling her. And for your information, he is isn’t the only one “taking flack” for it. His fellow psychopaths have been sentenced to life in a military prison, in case you didn’t see the news. But Steven Green was the undisputed ringleader. I hope they fry this scum until his head is smoking. Or better yet…put him in solitary confinement in a supermax prison for life, so he can bang his head against the wall for the next 50 years.

And to the other idiots talking about antisocial personality disorder as an “illness”…guess what? Personality disorders are not considered a mental illness under the law (like schizophrenia or major depression) because the person does know right from wrong and is fully in control of their behavior. Antisocial personality disorder is a character disorder that is essentially untreatable. The only treatment is incarceration, so the person cannot continue to exploit and harm others.

ognuno è responsabile delle proprie azioni: Steven Green dovrà rispondere delle proprie azioni davanti agli uomini, e subito dopo davanti a satana.

George is absolutely right.
Just suppose that you had a teenage daughter, just 14 years old. Suppose that a bunch of guys looked at her, discussed plans to rape and kill her, then proceeded to break into your house, kill you, kill everyone in your family, then proceed to rape your surviving daughter before shooting her in the head.

As you’re watching all this from above, would you personally care whether the guy who planned all this had a “personality disorder” or not? I would demand justice and nothing less.

justice is a good thing i would say,…and so is communication.
if soleah would like to talk with me,…my e-mail is aziahpoimandres@hotmail.com

Today I finally read justice has been done. However only life sentence no probation.
Not fair!! A child was raped and killed and a whole familly eliminated.. for what?? Those soldiers are people we look up to for protection.
What the hell is the world coming to??
I do hope the government will look into this.
This should not be happening. Grown men abusing trust and children is terribly wrong not matter the colour, the race or nationality!!
