For this journalist to say that they wear scared, is probably because they were laughing at him for shitting himself when it all went down.
And how can anyone on this thread condone the original title of US MURDERS civilians?
This isnt the first time when a news story breaks someone on the left rushes to judgement and posts something that turns out not to be true.
Just because they need something, anything to make Bush and this administration look bad.
I read somewhere, I cant remember where but GW himself ordered hellfire into a orphanage that was hosting a blind widow parade.

Thanks for clearing that up.
I wasn't sure if this group was comprised of reserves or not--I just read that the reserves are being relied upon heavily in Iraq.
Given that you've fought next to reserves before, is my analysis of how
they act correct? Are they just as well trained and stoic as the regular soldiers? I wonder about the mercs' level of training, too.
I'm just curious since we have the benefit of someone who's actually been there.
BTW, I didn't see the original title, but even if I had, just because I don't chastise someone doesn't mean I agree with the sentiment.
