I just plain disagree. I was disgusted by the guy who said at the press conference "these soldiers let us down" ... bullshit. It's just like a business - if you dont have enough mgmt, or if your mgmt sucks, your grunts are gonna fuck up. Part of making this a successful campaign is appearing to be liberators not scumbags, and for the high ranking fucking scumbags who send people in the heat of action to die say "they let us down" ... i say fuck you to these pen-pushing assholes. Yes a soldier is trained to cross the line of killing, but obviously public opinion and propaganda is a major part of war these days - soldiers need to be trained properly. face it - a soldier should be taught that doing shit like this is not kosher - and someone higher up should have been there to bitchslap whoever came up with the stupid fucking idea. how about G Dubya - lets send his ass over there in the battlefield since he wanted to invade iraq.
