My God, We owe these Marines nothing less and Sink should know better than to fall for this crap
You're not paying attention to all the clues being dropped by Pace and others in high command.
Since anyone who raises questions about this incident gets banned or is driven off the thread by those who simply refuse to consider that something terrible happened here, I'll oblige you and leave.
And I'm not proud of men who shoot other people in cold blood. This was calculated. If there were insurgents present, is it not curious that not a single Marine lost his life or was wounded other than the Marine killed by the IED?

It's an anecdote
Tell that to the dozen Marines who may be prosecuted for various crimes, including murder.
Whoever was in command of this unit is in serious, serious trouble.

And i'm not proud of FReepers that jump to conclusions and s*** on our boys before the investigation is complete.

Hey, Sammy. You givin' our very own closet Marxist a few libnut talking points?

Thought so.

Not curious at all. See Capt. Zan Hornbuckle:

He had some guys wounded, but his patchwork unit of 80 men who had never trained or fought together didn't lose a man in several hours of fierce combat. Two reinforcements were killed but Hornbuckle didn't lose one man.

There have been a lot of battles against insurgents in Iraq in Afghanistan where no Americans were killed. My brother was involved in some of them. You're just inventing straw men to hang your hat on.
