X- US Marine Ryan Weemer is being prosecuted for killing unarmed Iraqis during the American war on Iraq. Weemer was caught while applying for a job in the secret service in 2006, when he had to do a polygraph test, and was asked about the most serious crime he has ever committed.

Weemer said that his squad murdered unarmed Iraqis in 2004, reason being lack of time to take the men to jail. The decision of killing those war prisoners was obviously taken with the knowledge, if not the encouragement of their superiors, and hence the reason behind Weemer’s pleading not guilty, as he claims to have been pressured by his superiors to deal with the captured men.

The sad thing is that this man is actually pleading not guilty because he was told to execute those Iraqis, and he was just carrying out instructions. So this man is publicly announcing that he has no brains to think for himself, and if someone with a higher rank tells him to put his head in an oven, he wont hesitate, won’t think twice, and would happily do it. But then again, is this really the case? Would this man do it if it was an American citizen standing in front of him, unarmed? I very much doubt that!!!

Another sad thing is the fact that Weemer’s dark side was uncovered through a polygraph test that he had to sit for when he applied for a job in the secret service, but guess what?!!! Not everyone who took part in this war will sit for a polygraph test, and they will probably carry their secrets with them to their graves, dirty secrets of a war unjustified.
