nosarcasm said:I am not surprised that civilians get killed sometimes intentionally. That is the nature of war. happened in all major ones at least. But unlike other countries the US is on the moral high horse and does take these incident seriously.
Intentionally targeting and killing civilians is a war crime.
That people like Kerry during Vietnam helped the enemy was a great lesson to this country. I dont think it will repeat. But to give the military a card blanche on investigations leads to no good outcome either imo.
What country are you talking about? Kerrry admitted to committing treason on the floor of the United States senate, not a damn thing was done to him, and 33 years later he came very close to being elected the President of The United States.
You don't think it will repeat? Does the name Murtha ring a bell?
You can be a patriot and still enforce the rules of warfare on your troops.
I understand that it can be frustrating when the enemy so blatantly has not any concerns. In the long run I would hope this will win the victory for the US. Given that I do not support the withdrawal of troops till an solid Iraqi state is established. And yeah more incident , false and real will happen over time. The US has to prove it has the staying power in the region.
We've got service members doing long jail time for laughing at prisoners of war.
Gimme a fucking break.
