We all concede the point that this may have been the fault of some young kid who is scared and did not show proper restraint. I hope that you will also be on this forum showing as much indignation when some kid that does his duty and is, oh, shall we say, waiting in line, and gets killed by someone in civilian clothing. Also, if you are going to twist my words, try to at least properly interpret my words. You seem to have no explanation concerning how someone half a mile away could have caused such a reaction from our military personnel unless they were driving in what could be perceived as aggressive. I am sure that in your vast military experience, you have confronted similar situations. May I ask how you resolved the situation? Also, please remember that you and I are able to have this discussion because those young men and women are putting their lives in harm's way. I don't like when innocent people get hurt any more than you do, but those young men and women are over there because the President sent them....If you have a problem with the way they are doing their job, you may speak with your elected officials or you may enlist and react in the appropriate fashion. Will we be hearing from you from Baghdad or Tikrit or are we going to hear from you on Fox News?

I appreciate your post, well said.

Before I form an opinion on what happen, my sympathies are with the GI's...let a military investigation take place...Im not relying on the press.

For those condemning these soldiers...walk in their boots for a while.
