US massacres civilians

247 – Years ago, the United States' military intervention in Iraq was discredited when shocking images emerged of torture perpetrated by American soldiers against Iraqi prisoners. Electric shocks, beatings with ferocious dogs, and forced sex. After that, it was imagined that the Pentagon would carry out a purge in the American Army. None of that happened. New images, revealed now by Rolling Stone magazine, are even more frightening. This time, in Afghanistan.

In one scene, an American soldier prepares an ambush for Afghan motorcyclists and then fires machine gun shots. Afterward, one of the soldiers begins filming the body lying on the ground and shouts to his comrades: "I recorded everything on my camera." Watch the video at the link below:

Another video published by Rolling Stone magazine reveals the moment when Afghan citizens are killed in an air strike. While being filmed, American soldiers are seen having fun as if they were at a party. The scene of the killings even gained a soundtrack, with the song "En vie" by the Finnish band Apocalyptica, and was distributed among American troops as an encouragement to the killing.

Interestingly, the pretext for the military intervention in Libya, led by the United States and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), was to prevent dictator Muammar Gaddafi from carrying out the massacre of civilians. In today's fighting, rebel groups claim to have taken control of Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown. Allied troops also claim that Gaddafi's supporters are scattering bodies throughout the cities to spread the information that civilians are being killed by the invaders.

Based on what can be gleaned from the Afghan videos, it's difficult to know who is right.

Watch now the video for the song "En vie," used as the soundtrack to the killings by American soldiers.
