U.S. sergeant who gunned down unarmed Afghan civilians and cut off their fingers as trophies is jailed for life

  • Sergeant Calvin Gibbs cut fingers off corpses and yanked out victim's tooth as war trophies
  • Co-defendants said he played with victim's corpse 'like a puppet'
  • Gibbs convicted of murder in one of the most gruesome cases of Afghan war
  • 'Kill team' leader had skulls tattooed on leg to represent people he'd killed in Iraq

A 'savage' U.S. Army sergeant who shot dead three unarmed Afghan civilians for sport has been convicted of murder and jailed for life.

Army Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs was the highest ranking of five soldiers charged over the deaths of the unarmed men during patrols in Kandahar province early last year.

At his court martial, the 26-year-old acknowledged cutting fingers off corpses and yanking out a victim's tooth to keep as war trophies 'like keeping the antlers off a deer you'd shoot'.

He was sentenced to life in prison, with the posibility of parole after 9 years (?!). Yeah, some sentence.

BTW, Happy Veteran's Day!

That is a terrible thing to do to people, even during a time of a war and if its a fight against enemies, you are supposed to defeat your enemies, i.e. capture or kill them, but to mutilate people or corpses, and to brag about killing people is wrong.

He killed civilians, not 'enemies'.

I'm not denying that what he did was wrong. It was absolutely awful on all accounts.

But today is Veteran's Day. Not the appropriate day to post this.

In fact, you've been posting a lot of sad, horrible news stories and you "slyly" twist them to your own political agendas.

Just stop harboring so much hate. It's not healthy.
