I'd just like to weigh in with a simple analogy.
If a mentally handicapped person is shooting at me and my friends, and my friends are dead and dying, and i'm just lucky to be upright and conscious, I'm gonna blast that fucker, no matter who or what the fuck he is.
What we have is the equivalent of the aftermath of my above hypothetical, and the title would read:
"analog shot a retard"
I'd say that there is a story here, and some of us are only getting bits and pieces of it.
1. They didn't bomb the fucking mosque. They bombed a wall that surrounds it. That's WAY different.
2. They bombed people who were- and had been for some time- actively engaging troops, and had already wounded or killed several.
3. These people chose to engage our troops FROM A CHURCH. As someone already pointed out, this was one of the disgusting tactics used by Saddam.
The only thing to debate, as far as I can tell, is whether or not we should have just pulled out completely rather than stay and engage.
You just lost several brothers- you tell me what you'd do in the moment.
