I find it rather sardonic that the term "Heroic Americans" has now popped up. I also find it to be highly insulting. Nobody in this thread has said that the people in the Apache were heroes for the actions that took place. Nobody that I have seen has said that they don't empathize with both groups in this incident. Taking this conversation to that level undermines your own argument rb.
All that has been said is that Namir was collateral damage in this incident and while there is still a lot to the story that we don't know yet, I cannot fathom why anyone would attack people who are involved in a war they don't even want to be in. The shitty part of the reality is that they signed the service papers and they have no other choice but to do what they are told. No is not an option for these men.
Along those lines, nobody is sitting here saying that soldiers get it right 100% of the time. The fault for me, lies with the idiot and his men who declared this war necessary. The other fact of the matter is that those men in the video and countless others who are other there right now have it much worse than I'll ever have. They get ripped from their families to take a bullet for man who wields a pen, they get divorce papers, they come back in body bags or they come back to a country that hates them for their service instead of hating the men and women who put them over there to begin with.
I think at the end of the day, there is no right or wrong to this discussion. Both sides are tragic, which is why it would make more sense for the people to push harder for the agenda that they really want and to force the kings who hold the power to follow the demands of the people. The military is just an easier target.. which is another tragedy in itself.
