I have always been fond of the expression, "He who asserts must prove!"

Not saying that the US military is not capable of making mistakes but I do know that as a policy, we try to minimize civilian casualties because we know about the public relation nightmare that will result...

I will say, however, that I think those kids over there are tired (probably have not been getting an adequate amount of TLC from the opposite sex) and really need our support. Until I see some independent confirmation of this incident, I think I will stand with on that vehement disagreement position....

The attitude expressed by some reminds me of the treatment soldiers received coming back from Vietnam...Being called names, spit on, etc...Blaming the executors of the policy rather than the formulators of the policy and having those young kids left out to dry by the politicians and the American Public...that is something that happened re:Vietnam that I do not want to see again....
