U.S. Platoon Mutiny in Iraq, Refuses 'Suicide Mission'

[jcook11]

Anybody think that Normandy or Omaha was a suicide mission?

I was thinking that exact thing Cook...these guys lives are depending on that fuel. Tainted fuel is a risk I would be willing to take if I was stuck in the hot zone. I would hope my buddy who I rely on would bring it.

Yep.

Green troops were used deliberately because it was thought that experienced soldiers might refuse.

im sorry but no-one can pick and choose if they are gonna do a mission or not....how would these cowards feel if they did go ahead with what they were ordered to do and yeah they got into an ambush and they were told "sorry guys,no one fancies coming out to rescue you cos it looks abit too dangerous".....jesus christ....they chose to join the army.....get on with it

I wonder what "war hero" Hermans' thoughts are on this?
