Figure it takes at least two guys an hour to dig a hole that size, plant the bomb, and bury it. SOMEONE in those houses SAW SOMETHING, but let the US soldiers get blown up anyway. THAT MAKES THEM ALL THE ENEMY. Women, children, old young, all very sad, but all VERY INVLOVED if Daddy didn't REPORT THE TERRORISTS DIGGING UP THEIR FRONT YARD.

Amen! I pray that politics don't send these brave Marines to the gallows. This disgusts me more than I can say.

Except the rules of engagement do not allow deadly force to be used against people who "saw something", or even against people who were related to people who "did something".

Complain about the ROE, but soldiers have to follow the rules as given to them.

Note: The soldiers are claiming they DID follow the ROE, and I hope they are right and are found not guilty.
