I don't think any of us are really berrating the military for protecting themselves. What we are worried about is what the average Iraqi will do with the information that the mosque was fired on.
Though our soldiers were taking fire, it would have been more prudent to fall back and engage them at another time. This would be done to remove the APPEARANCE that we are attacking Islam itself.
That is our concern, that more americans are going to die now specifically because of this. Because it will be used as a method of inciting Iraqi's.
I know it is unfair to the engaged american military to have to retreat from certain structures when the Iraqi's take cover there but it should be done. In the long run it's best for our troops health. This is the kind of thing that may eventually unite all major Islamic factions against us there.
