First off this is a very graphic story.. Read with caution

The man pictured above is a piece of trash. He is convicted of 4 counts of murder, aggravated rape of a minor and obstruction of justice. Not only that he like myself is an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran. This man Stephen D. Green Was deployed with my unit in Iraq and I have had the dishonor of standing next to him and spending time smoking and talking with this troubled young man.


Recently he was convicted on all charges stemming from a brutal attack on innocent civilians while in Iraq. While manning a traffic control point outside of Yusifyah him and three other Soldiers entered a home and held the residents hostage. He separated the mother, grandfather and young toddler away from their 14 year old girl. While the three Soldiers were taking control of the 14 year old, Green took the family's AK-47 and killed them at point blank range. He then walked out of the room and told the other Soldiers he killed the whole family.


Green then had his way with the 14 year old girl and after the Soldier's raped the girl Green killed her as well. To cover up the crimes he decided to burn the bodies leaving the house to burn to the ground. Another family member who left for a couple days came home to see his whole family brutally murdered. I can remember Green talking about killing "hodgies" but never payed attention to him. He was on his way out on a mental discharge, there were a number of incidents that came to light the biggest one was him throwing his supervisor's pet puppy off of a second story building in anger. The Supervisor was given the puppy from a local family as a gift.


Green always said that his hate for Iraqi's stemmed from seeing two of his supervisors being killed at point blank range by an Iraqi farmer. After two of our Soldier's got kidnapped and brutally tortured before their murder; a fellow soldier brought up Green's story to his chain of command thinking the kidnapping was in retaliation for the brutal murder. Once news hit the locals in our area NO Iraqi civilian trusted us and more of them turned to the local terrorist group for revenge.


Because this poor excuse of a human had a chip on his shoulder, two of our fellow good Soldiers were brutally tortured, beheaded on camera and leaked on the Internet. But we were not allowed to communicate with our families back home and the only thing they had to rely on was the local news for updates. Making all of our family members more and more worried about our morale. I really hope this guy gets the death sentence, I would love to see his last breath due to the amount of pain and suffering he caused not only the family, but our whole unit.
