HONOLULU – A Hawaii-based soldier who killed a 13-year-old Iraqi girl and wounded her mother and sister two years ago has been discharged from the Army without charges, officials said Tuesday.

Sgt. Jeffrey D. Waruch, 28, of Olean, N.Y., avoided court-martial and left the service Jan. 27 under a voluntary discharge for completion of service.

“In this case a review of the investigation determined that no further evidence was likely to be found that would result in the case going to trial,” Army spokeswoman Stephanie Gardin said. “The results of the criminal investigation found that Waruch did not act in a negligent or unlawful manner and that there was insufficient evidence in order to prosecute.”

Shaha Jawad al-Jabouri and her two daughters were chased and shot Feb. 18, 2004, after an explosion hit an Army convoy on its way to Ai Abbassi. They were weeding a bean field about a half-mile from the blast.

1. Translation: It's OK to kill untermenchen women & children

I believe it was General Custer who said, "Nits make lice," in reference to his own wanton murdersw of women and children.

As we all have noticed by now, Imperial Amerika is going back to a pre-1776 condition, and it may not stop until it reaches the 1590s.

Witch burning, anyone?

3. I think that it was Chivington who made the 'nits' comment,

"shoot them all, kill them all -- because nits make lice.' Sand Creek Massacre.

Custer may have picked it up from him.

A couple of real saints, those two. :sarcasm:

4. Well, it seems it has been okay to kill 10s of thousand of Iraqi's before,

so why should this be any different.
