I respect the military we have now for their self control.

I do too, I think we have just witnessed a major change in the rules of engagement.

But note that the gun ships did not fire on the mob of celebrants – they fired on the American Bradley.
Oops!

Indeed, the stated target was the Bradley, but this was done while people were jumping all over it doing the Jihadi Macarena. Don't get me wrong though, if I was a newspaper editor the headline next day would have been ...

No hard feelings, magnanimous Marines hand out virgins to local terrorist supporters.

Make them all happy!
But – I still say they got it wrong. It’s not 72 virgins, but 72 Virginians.
