Why do you call it "My Li" fashion? You speak as if the actions of the United States military that define atrocity. And how moral of you to jump on the bandwagon and show your humanity by condemning our troops if they acted inappropriately. And I am sure you are equally condemnatory of the killers who car bomb civilians every day in Iraq. Your morality is beyond reproach. You are indeed a model human being.
Now you get out of your scifi world and connect with reality. Just what do you think combat is? Something to be filmed for the nightly news? Something for the NY Times to editorialize about? Wow, we are in big, big trouble.
Fighting between combattants, not execution of unarmed women and children and an elderly amuptee in a wheel chair. I hope you are right and this is just case of collateral damage. However, the fact that DOD is leaking like a sive, that the Marine Commandant has flown to Iraq to remind troops that they cant execute civilans, and three commanders have been relieved of their commands is not a good sign.
