The sources quoted high-ranking U.S. officers as saying that since the U.S.
occupation of Iraq in March 2003 more than 304 U.S. military forces have been
executed in spurious clashes at the behest of army commanders and with the knowledge
of the Pentagon. The bodies of these soldiers have been sent to their families and announced
as forces who have been killed in the fight against terrorists, the Mehr News
Agency correspondent in southern Iran has learnt. The soldiers ordered killed were mainly among those who suffered mental disorders
and protested against the massacre of Iraqi civilians and asked “Who were
they fighting for”. Reports say the number of soldiers who have injured or maimed themselves to
flee from the scene of war in Iraq are on the rise, and new revelations show
that this number has exceeded to 2,100 over the past two years. The U.S. Army medical dispensary announced four months ago that more than 6,000
soldiers serving in Iraq suffer from severe mental problems. The reports have
also revealed that some of these soldiers tend to kill innocent Iraqi civilians
without any particular reason in order to reduce their mental pains. |
