I agree with you pale...that dude was probably just a tea brewer or camel breeder. No way our Marines kill some guy just minding his own business. I think that we should see if Al Jazeera has some info on this as they are in the region and know these people better than we do. And I am willing to bet that all of those IED's are actually just unexploded bombs that we dropped on helpless civilians and when we run over them, they explode. And those guys cutting off heads...? BS! I heard it was all fake, recorded in the same studio where they faked the moon landing.
The vast majority don't. Apparently, these guys did.
To expect moral perfection from an organization of about 150,000 people is kind of silly.
