It is also absurd to take one soldier's story at face value as the complete truth. The claim that there is some kind of code of silence is bullshit. There are roughly 150,000 troops in Iraq and hundreds or thousands of reporters. If this behaviour of indiscriminately shooting into crowds was common place, we would definately hear about it. Of course, we all pick and choose which facts we want to believe. You will believe that this is true, and that our troops are horrible, baby eating monsters, and I will dismiss it as lies.
