A US paratrooper who provoked a shootout with the Syrian military has been dropped by a US court.

121

Sergeant 1st Class Robert Nicoson, the American paratrooper who instigated the shootout with the Syrian military at the checkpoint, was dropped by a US court. There are even no complaints against him for ordering his subordinates to remove the video of the incident.

This is reported by the American newspaper Army Times.



The soldier's civil protection lawyer, Philip Stackhouse, claimed that the patrol had informed the command in advance that it would go to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) checkpoint. He also stated that Nikoson's hostile actions against the SAA soldiers were made by him in order to prevent the Syrian attack on his unit.

The trial lasted a week, and more than 20 witnesses were called to the podium to testify

- said the lawyer.

The defendant was acquitted of all charges at a military court hearing in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The decision was made by a jury, among whom were two lieutenant colonels and six sergeant majors.

On August 17, 2020, in northeastern Syria, American paratrooper Robert Nikoson provoked a conflict at a government checkpoint and opened fire. In the skirmish, one Syrian was killed and two wounded. There were no casualties among the US military.

The incident was brought to trial in the United States and the US sergeant went unpunished.

    Yes, they killed children in Afghanistan with a drone "by mistake", then they conducted an investigation, admitted that they were mistaken and ... did not punish anyone in any way. they do not care at all until they themselves are treated the same way!

      Why didn't the Syrians shoot them with grenade launchers? Here the servicemen attacked the servicemen. Frightened by the helicopter, that's all. Why mention children here. If the US is not legal there, why weren't they destroyed?

The main life dream of the absolute majority is to become a merchant. For us, who grew up in a military town with fathers - participants in the Second World War, it was savagery.

                Not certainly in that way . I had a chance somehow to chat about life with "theirs" infantry summer. He studied in the USSR, spoke Russian quite passably. Something like caste division was visible among them. The chief - and his soldiers. Not like ours - the usual distance in subordination. Stronger . "I am higher and more important than you." We drank and have a snack. About that, about that. Salaries (they have pennies, 200 afoshes a month at the platoon commander). He boasted - "Two wives, I'm buying a third ..." I told him - "Why?" And then it just dawned on me that he wanted to say "I have achieved what I have achieved !!! Respect me"
                Well, another touch. They have flight personnel, even a flight technician - it's like we now have Kiselev with Skabeeva next to the make-up artist. The ambition among its own is incredible.
                But the dolt who killed himself, and the Su-17, and our guys with the Mi-6 in Khumri in 85 - so he is almost a chicken of "royal blood". Like this.

Once at the stadium he was sitting next to the GDR Germans, so he taught them to pronounce the name of the goalkeeper of Tbilisi “Dynamo” - Anzor Kvazashvili for almost the entire match. By the end of the match, they had learned. I read the memoirs of a military doctor, how military doctors were taught at the St. Petersburg Military Medical Academy.

              Yes you are right. One of my grandfathers did not like Stalin very much. There were reasons. But he put a lance in the fascist's ear. So he got a machine gun, and off we go. After the war, he went through a bitch war too. And I don’t think that he was right in that either. But he thrust the lance into the fascist's ear correctly. And even if such people stand up to defend their homeland, not the authorities. Then this is the people's war.

And I am pleased with such retribution, the trial is superfluous in this case. Father told them in the unit there was an eternal captain - a front-line soldier. Once he had a glass of tea. told why he was a captain, at such an age. During the war, one day he received a funeral for the whole family, the Nazis shot them during the occupation. The next day he was ordered to take the prisoners to the rear, he took them to the rear, but not to the assembly point, and in the ravine and there he personally put everyone. The escort soldiers did not betray him. The corpses were eventually found by the special officers, they found him, but not personally, but only figured out. He was on the offensive at that moment from his batteries, the task was heroically fulfilled The division commander for the place of the order simply hushed up this matter. No one touched the captain in the unit in his warehouse, everyone treated him with respect.

                What kind of inhumans? Are you talking about me? Calm down and cool down. The fact is that we know after the fact that Nazism is disgusting and inhuman, and I personally feel disgust for it. I’m no longer a little boy and I’ve seen so much dirt and dirt, but while watching the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" I sobbed like a girl throughout the film. But then it was not obvious and understandable to everyone that Nazism and everything that the Nazis were doing was impermissible. Therefore, it was necessary to prove it, and the Nuremberg Tribunal proved it. Ordinary Germans also supported Nazism, but not everyone realized this horror and the consequences, in fact, fully and soberly, and what do you think that it was necessary to drown the whole of Germany in blood without understanding? Those who really consciously accepted Nazism and followed it, as they considered it faithful, were punished. But the same Americans, even at the tribunal, distinguished themselves by pardoning even the most frostbitten ones, because their policy is similar to the Nazi one. They justified their own kind. Personally, I do not want to be like the Nazis in anything, and I urge you to do this, but deliberately. The Nazis believed that a court was not needed and they did not judge Jews and prisoners of war, simply because they also hung the stigma of the enemy on them, but after all, no one really and objectively proved enemies, they needed real evidence, not fictions, otherwise you will punish the innocent , which were the prisoners of the camps, because no one proved what they were accused of. Without a truly fair and impartial judgment, the violence and lawlessness that you really fear, which the Nazis did, will bloom. Do not become like a beast, otherwise you yourself will become one. Tell me what am I wrong? Best wishes.

                Yeah, at first there was some problem with the comments, now everything is fine, I take these words back.
                During the war, one day he received a funeral for the whole family, the Nazis shot them during the occupation. The next day he was ordered to take the prisoners to the rear, he took them to the rear, only not to the assembly point, but to the ravine and there himself personally put everyone

                Sad story. But the fact is that when faced with such things, it is impossible for a healthy person to perceive it with a cool head. I myself, being in such a situation, would have done the same. This is the reason for the judgment of a person who is not involved, an outsider, such an order has existed for centuries, the judge and the executioner must be impartial. Obviously, the murdered family was killed for nothing. But who knew who those Nazi soldiers were, because among them there were those who initially did not accept Nazism, but ended up in the army, for various reasons, someone was afraid that if he resisted he would suffer himself, someone was afraid for a family that you could not take away from Reich, many helped the Soviet soldiers, ran across, even among those who ended up in the camps were those who, in the process, seeing the horror that he created with his own hands, rebelled against it, these people came to the realization of the inhumanity of Nazism after that, because as I said already, they accepted Nazism unconsciously, and understood it too late, but according to the laws of law, such people are not completely guilty. Therefore, in the Soviet troops, Nazi prisoners of war were not shot en masse, but kept, in spite of. I don’t want to appear as Kolya from Urengoy, but as I already wrote, we should not think that it was necessary to kill all the Germans to the last, everyone who somehow helped Nazism was guilty, but not everyone deserved death, many really had weighty reasons: their own stupidity, family and children, someone did not know another life at all, because young guys in the army are people born in the early 20s and from childhood they were brought up by Nazism. One can only admire our grandfathers, how they were able to go through this, but if we can look at things coldly and soberly, then we cannot cut from the shoulder. One of my relatives tried to escape to the front several times, but they caught him and returned him because he had a reservation, because he plowed the field and harvested bread, and we now know that his work for the country was no less, but even more important, because the victory was forged in the rear and the country had already lost a lot of good land and plowmen, factories and workers, but he did not know how important he was at home, and the people who led the country to victory understood the result on the face.

            I decided to take a little interest and went nuts. Yes, there we took over the baton from the SS:
            In the Dachau hospital lay wounded Wehrmacht soldiers and Volkssturm teenagers: several hundred people. The Americans took away the hospital staff - doctors and nurses, and the wounded - those who could not walk, pulled from their beds - only 358 people. Immobile invalids were shot on the spot. The doctors, pharmacist and medical staff wore white coats with Red Cross bandages. The hospital's chief physician, Dr. Schroeder, called the Americans to order, but he was beaten and his skull fractured. This group included all camp staff, including school teachers. The group was executed

            the pile of corpses was about 2 or 3 feet high and 15 feet across. And they were SS men. One of the corporals in my company drew a hunting knife and cut off a finger from one of the corpses. He wanted an SS ring for a souvenir. "

            The documents of the killed Germans were destroyed and the medallions were removed. Their bodies were buried in an unknown place by captured servicemen. This was a violation of the Geneva Convention on the identification of fallen enemy soldiers, the prohibition of burial in unmarked graves and forced labor when burying the dead. The Americans grossly violated the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War and committed a war crime. None of the participants in the massacre was punished, the charges were dropped by General Patton


            You can continue for a long time. And this was done by people who did not see real atrocities, did not lose their families in the war, did not see their homes burned down. Our soldiers were not even close to such a thing, although words cannot convey their grief. Yes, Hitler found worthy "successors" of the case.

                the command wanted to surrender honorably, not to the Russians, you can not worry. They dressed in a beautiful uniform, polished boots. This infuriated the Americans, for this they were shot on the spot.
                Obersturmführer tried to surrender the camp to the Americans, but was shot dead. According to the memoirs, the Americans were furious that the SS men came out to surrender in perfectly clean uniforms with polished boots. The commander of the SS garrison, impeccably dressed, went out to meet the Americans and, saluting, addressed the commander of the 45th Thunderbird GI unit, Colonel Jackson, in English with the words: “I am the commander of the camp guard. I have the authority to hand over the camp to you. "

                    With the battles, it seemed to me they surrendered in batches, if only the Red Army did not fall into the hands.

    The "provocation of the conflict" by the American military looked something like this
    https://news.yahoo.com/army-paratrooper-robert-nicoson-acquitted-073119232.html
    Quote: "The firefight started when Nicoson's patrol sought passage through a pro-regime checkpoint and was initially blocked from doing so. After a discussion through translators, the US forces were allowed passage before they were met with small arms fire, according to a report by Task & Purpose. Nicoson's unit, the 82nd Airborne Division's Blackhorse Troop, 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, returned fire ... "
    That is, the situation developed approximately as follows - American servicemen approached the Syrian Arab Army checkpoint and requested permission to pass through the territory controlled by the troops of the Syrian government. At first they were denied, but then, after talking with the help of an interpreter, permission was still given. However, when the US military tried to start moving, Syrian soldiers opened fire on them. A similar response followed from the American military.
