Canadian Soldier on trial.

"They have a huge problem on their hands: they don't have a body," said University of Ottawa law professor Michel Drapeau, a retired colonel in the Canadian Forces and an expert in military law.

"They can't identify the person or that the person is actually dead," he said. "And if he is dead, that the thing that killed him was those shots."

Good write-up on it here: http://news.globaltv.com/world/Trial+Can...3958/story.html

What's the point of training someone to kill and then getting mad when they do?

Why not do this to the soldiers who kill people because they hate them? That sounds more like murder to me than a "mercy killing" does.

And yes Sevart a very good question. I remember back in January of '66 a friend of mine was drafted, for some reason that year the Marines needed a few good men and he was picked. So he was sent to Paris Island for his basic training. He told me that they had a prison there for marines that could no longer be let out into society, because they had killed so many people that that is all they knew. Pretty sad I remember thinking at that time. But its true, there are soldiers from all the different branches that are in the same boat!

What was the name of the prison? I can't find any mention of it anywhere. Parris Island used to be a naval prison, but they closed that when they opened it as a boot camp.

Not sure Karl. Only repeating what my friend had said.

I was a navy corpsman with the marines in Parris Is., SC from 1960-62. Never heard of such a prison then.

I looked it up. It was closed in the '30s.
