If you mean the former, sure - it happens all the time, and it has happened a hell of a lot in this war.
If you mean the latter, it does happen, and it is wrong every time it happens.
It is easy for those who espouse the 'war is hell' defense to forget who incongruous this is with our stated objectives. If we are supposed to be the ones who are here to stop the brutality, the slaughter of helpless families, etc., then it isn't going to be very convincing to simply tell these folks 'sorry, we're here to help you, but that sometimes gets kinda messy and every now and then we'll blow your kids away at close range in order to help you.'
I'd still like to hear your response to the two questions from my previous post to you.
I meant the latter; military men snapping and killing innocent women and children. And who has said it isn't wrong?
As to your questions, the first as I recall relies on MSM reports and since I've posted several times today that the media has mis-quoted a general and freepers have found other little "mistakes" the media has made, you'll have to forgive me if I wait until a little thing called a trial before I believe the media reports about this matter.
The second question was a hypothetical and I'm not in the mood.
