Yup, this one sounds fishy. The other incident is far more troubling because it appears that our own military has reached a preliminary opinion that the Marines shot innocents.

Bad news is best dealt with openly and honestly.
I missed that. Got a link?
What really bothers me about Hafitha, is that it seems to me the militarys' opinion is more politically expediant than the truth.
Sensitivity training and hanging our boys out to dry wont make anyone love us or even like us.
But it will encourage the enemy. Worst of all it will induce doubt in our troops. Doubt in the command structure supporting them ( CIC included ) and doubt at pulling the trigger based on some "group hug" they had to sit through about diversity . Thats going to get some killed.
Our boys deserve better.
