Former U.S. Soldier Says Murder Is Like "Squashing An Ant"

@ 03:05 PM (25 months, 2 days ago)

Steven Green, a former private with the 101st Airborne Division, is accused of raping and murdering an Iraqi girl, and murdering three of her family members as well.  And he compares murder to "squashing an ant."  During an interview, he said:

"I came over here because I wanted to kill people. The truth is, it wasn't all I thought it was cracked up to be.  I mean, I thought killing somebody would be this life-changing experience. And then I did it, and I was like, 'All right, whatever.'  I shot a guy who wouldn't stop when we were out at a traffic checkpoint and it was like nothing. Over here, killing people is like squashing an ant.  I mean, you kill somebody and it's like, 'All right, let's go get some pizza.'"
