War Casualty or Murder
A U.S.soldier was hit by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, and then is caught in a firefight with insurgents. When mysterious figure in black approaches him, he shoots. Turns out, it was a renowned female Afghani doctor coming to help him. Now he’s on trial for murder, possibly facing life in prison. Randi Kaye has more.
This is outrageous action to be taken against an American soldier. When you're in a war zone and under such stress survival is on the soldiers mind. It's unfortunate but a fact of life, without any type of visible identification what else could he have dome. For all he knew she could have been a suicide bomber approaching him. If this is the way our troops are going to be treated then bring them all home.
