I know of one in particular that happened near Sadr City in 2004. A family of seven including a pregnant woman, a 3 year old boy, and an elderly man were machine gunned by a battle weary soldier. I was the medic that saved the lives of all 7. After getting them all to a U.S. hospital, I briefed a combat commander who thanked me for my time and then buried the incident. It never made the news, the soldier responsible was never treated for PTSD or TBI, the command continued to cover up casualties. I tried to blow the whistle to my congessman and was forced out of the Army as a result. I can provide details and witnesses but I never knew who to tell until now. Please help stop the killings by exposing all of these incidents. There are several other incidents of Iraqi civilians being gunned down by battle fatigued soldiers.
