Makes you wonder...bad intel, said it was a terrorist training camp? Where'd he get the info? Did he get taken in by Iraqis looking to set up U.S. troops for a "massacre?"

SSG Girouard went into the first house and found a group of kids in there by themselves. He told them in Arabic to stay in the house and started yelling over the radio, "What the hell is going on here? What the hell? Why are there kids in here?"

If it weren't for the consummate professionalism of Girouard and his team, they'd have had a lot more people dead. Freaking amazing.

"Did he get taken in by Iraqis looking to set up U.S. troops for a "massacre?" "

Seems obvious that he did. By itself thats not such a bad thing other then it jeopardizes lives and the political impact of the US killing a bunch of children. For certain posters on FR it must be an eye opener that the terrorists will sacrifice their children for the cause.

Whats worse is that he sacrificed his troops for his own career and ego.
