Pacifier

there was this incident where a soldier, according to some reporters who were embedded in the unit, didn't shoot warning shots, but started shooting directly at the truck. he was disobeying a direct order which resultet in the death of a couple of civillians.
warcrime is maybe not the correct term, but i thnik those kind of incidents require a closer look.

the cultural heritage has to be protected, as far as i know it is an article in the GC. and the museum wasn't looted only at the first day. if i remember correctly the looting began a few days after the major fighting.
plus one of an other problem with that is that this shows somehow the US priorities, protect the Oil ministry but "forget" the museum. Again this doesn't look good for the people down there.
