74. I have been there.

So I am not talking out of my ass. When we kill civilians it is accidental. The taliban does it to maintain control of villages NATO contacts. They murder villagers who they find out talked to us. They car bomb civilians by the dozens daily just to make it look like the government cannot provide security. They kill little girls who try to go to school, women who try to get outside of the house, people who use technology.

In Afghanistan around 50% support NATO, and I understand why the other 50% do not. We do cause accidental civilian deaths, and we do have the rare homicidal maniacs. Both of which the taliban are very good at capitalizing on. But even still, their approval rating can be counted in single digits.

So do not be uninformed. And please do not insinuate I do not know what I am talking about. I have seen enough dead for multiple lifetimes. I might have a sense of what is going on.

U.S troops will die because of this. That act was despicable, and completely unhonorable. But in many troops when they are confronted with probable death on a daily basis, running over bombs every week, taking mortar and artillery fire every night, seeing their brothers die in front of them regularly... Many stop caring about anything at all. They are already dead.
