Why did this American soldier kill these Afghani's?

Asked by KNOWITALL (29690points) June 5th, 2013

This soldier and father of two children killed 16 Afghan civilians, many of them women and children, and doesn’t know why although he pleaded guilty. Then he burned them and the compound.

He has PTSD and a brain injury, do you think that is a viable defense (although there is no defense for this horror.)

Theories?
