I am far from trigger-happy, but not only would I have had a tank at the end of the column, I would've instrcucted the commander to level any building from which a single shot was fired. We have not done that; we'll loose more people in the same circumstances.

Once cannot be a saint when fighting barbarians. Yet that is what we tell the world, which not holds us to that standard. Naturally, any human will fail when measured by supra-natural standards.

The problem is that not all of them are.

The recent story of some locals risking their lives to properly bury a couple of our guys and collect their personal effects which they turned over to the command was touching.

No, they are not all animals! If they were, we would not have a reason to be there dying for them.

We could just stand back and bomb them like we did our friends the Serbs.
