Shit happens in a war, and no amount of crying and vaginal bleeding will keep civilians from getting killed. There's a reason why a court-martial jury is made up of other military members: To keep disgusting, fat body, pussy-ass civilians from casting judgment over something they don't have even the slightest clue about. Believe it or not, your extensive knowledge of Hollywood war movies is vastly different from the realities of actual, real-life war.
The men in the street appeared to be armed. The local U.S. military units were taking small arms fire in the area. Insurgents are known to gather in groups and film their exploits during small arms attacks. These facts, taken together as a whole, provide justification for engaging and killing the men in the street. The end. So, who's on American Idol nowadays?

Yes, war is dirty. But here's the thing: over the past 60 years all we've heard from the chicken hawks is how precise the American military is, how they'd never be part of any atrocities, how they are liberating people. Because, of course, if people remembered that war is a dirty thing they wouldn't be so quick to do this shit.
It is a classic bait and switch: before the war it's all liberation, precision, killing the bad guys and defending human rights, during and after it when all that bullshit was exposed for what it was it's "what do you expect? it's war."
The fact is that people who opposed the war from the start have said that this shit would take place. The chicken hawks were the ones going on about a clean war.
