Military District of San Bernardino County

San Bernardino County hosts the military's most cherished clubhouse, Ft. Irwin, and several other bases, active and closed. The county population is rich in military denizens, their derelicts, offspring, misfits and buffs. With the consequent prevalence of the classic sociopathy found in these people, predation, exploitation, corruption and virtual tyranny have spread throughout our courts, law enforcement and government. Discuss the disgraceful prison and military industrial complexes here.

WASHINGTON — The five Blackwater Worldwide guards indicted for a deadly 2007 Baghdad shooting are all decorated military veterans who have served in some of the world’s most dangerous places.

The men are Donald Ball, Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty, Nick Slatten and Paul Slough (pronounced SLO). All have been ordered to surrender Monday. Details of the surrender are being worked out.

The men are charged after the shooting of 17 Iraqi civilians in a busy Baghdad intersection. Documents in the case remain sealed but are expected to become public Monday.

Mark Hulkower is an attorney for Slough. He says his client served his country honorably and never should have been indicted.
