They had hours and hours to clear their dead and wounded.
Our military lied in the Civil War, in the war of 1898, in WWI, WWII, and Korea, and I see no reason why to believe them here. Do you love the Gubmint? They tell you the truth right?
Paging Mr. Rorschach! Aren't you the same person who posted a bunch of garbage about the Philippines war? You know, the garbage about our troops killing 200,000+ Filipino civilians in cold blood ('face to face' or something equally sinister). I shot down your anti-American rant by quoting your own source that the deaths were due to disease and famine. Of course, then you claimed your own source was lying about that part.
So far, you seem to be the one having trouble telling the truth. Come on, admit it. You're dying to call our current military a bunch of baby killers. You've done the same for previous generations.
