if that is all there was to it, then i would agree. knowing what i know about our military personnel and the grave consequences of breeching LOAC and international law... i am betting the total situation isn't how it is being represented so far.
i think some people forget that overly aggressive tactics toward iraqis only make our soldier's job more difficult. they are keenly aware of this and go about the jobs they are there to do with this knowledge. more uprisings mean more bullets and RPGs in their direction. no one on TFP is more alert of this concept than they are i'm sure.
