Apparently according to this journalist ( his name escapes me) the American's were shooting at everything in sight, militants as well as civilians. According to him, anything that moved was a target.
He also said the Americans lost composure and were very scared, even calling for back up to get them out because they appeared to not know what to do.
Certainly a perspective I wasn't expecting to hear.

Imagine that, confusion during war. And this guy is an expert on how people should react when fired upon and in the identification of enemy combatants I suppose. In fact most anything that moed probably was a target since most non combatants flee in the opening minutes of a prolonged battle.
As far as the claim that these are reserves doing the fighting, it's the First Marine Division not the National Guard.
