This is an unfortunate, and isolated incident. These soldiers commited an obvious criminal offense and are charged with such. It is at least hopeful that the incident was noticed, and is being dealt with.
Warfare is never clean and proper, it is War and very messy. People die, and many are innocent. This is but one death out of what is likely hundreds a day, many of which (if investigated) would likely prove to be borderline murder, depending on the Yardstick used for measurment. We have sent a relatively untrained force into the very worst kind of warfare, where there is no defined enemy.
Personally, I am amazed we dont hear of this sort of "offense" on a daily basis, as it most likely occurs quite frequently. To those who supported this engagement in the first place, a reminder:
Be careful what you wish for.......................
