you see one guy with an RPG so you get to shoot everyone. That's fair and I don't give a rat's ass about the guys with weapons, or the legitimate collateral damage. What really pisses me off is that they shot up the van with the kids in it that was only aiding a wounded guy (no weapons i.e non-combatants), and those fuckers in the chopper wasted them because they wanted to and knew they could get away with it. They were looking for an excuse. They should have passed up that kill. They chose not to because they are sadistic pricks. What I find most disturbing is the "It serves 'em right for bringing their kids to a battle," crack, and the "yea that's right," that followed with a few chuckles thrown in for effect. There was no battle, just a massacre, and I don't even have a problem with that, because bad shit happens all the time in war. But the fuckers who shot up those kids and then laughed about it should have been court-martialed, and then put in cages, and when they are, I'll be happy to discuss Bradley Manning's treason. Semper Fi.
