Alcohol consumption preceded rape-murder in Iraq

A soldier cited in U.S. court documents as the first witness told investigators that Green and three others drank alcohol and discussed rape. They then told the soldier to keep watch on the radio as they set off for the house, some in civilian clothes.

This once again shows that alcohol aided in the reduction of inhibition to commit rape and murder.

However, this does not excuse any of the five participants in this crime.

Nor does Green's "personality disorder" excuse him by reason of insanity.

Yet his antipathy towards Iraqis showed that with enough "courage" he might incite such a crime.

Men such as Green are not only a threat to families in foreign lands, but also to one third of all female troops.

Maybe it's time to water down the hooch.
