American troops were under orders to "kill all military aged men" in Iraq.

Four U.S. soldiers accused of murdering suspected insurgents during a raid in Iraq said they were under orders to "kill all military age males," according to sworn statements obtained by The Associated Press.

The soldiers first took some of the men into custody because they were using two women and a toddler as human shields. They shot three of the men after the women and child were safe and say the men attacked them.

"The ROE (rule of engagement) was to kill all military age males on Objective Murray," Staff Sgt. Raymond L. Girouard told investigators, referring to the target by its code name.

This can't be true. Can it?

How will America ever recover from this war? We have lost all of our ethics and integrity because we were afraid. We felt vulnerable and we let our "Warmonger-in-Chief" attack a country that could do us no harm. And look at the result.

How much more shame must we endure before it is all over?
