they need them free to fight a war. Soldiers die all the time to preserve the kind soft US image.
Take Fallujah for example...
Taking a city like Fallujah in a sound military way means telling the civilians to leave, then leveling the insurgent criminals without fear of hurting innocents.
In our world though our priority isn't to defeat the enemy, but to show restraint for the media. Instead, of tell people to leave, why no have them stay in the middle of the fight. How about the insurgents use the as shields while they kill young Americans who walk house to house, knocking on each potential deathtrap?
Is it really hard to see that the majority of Iraq casualties were victims of the insurgents disregard for the lives of even their own people? Is it hard to see that already inflated civilian casualty statistics are saturated with enemy combatants who hide amoung the populous until your son, daughter, friend, mother or father walks by?

Why do some people give the proud murderous thugs leeway and support, rather than OUR OWN COUNTRYMEN?

Because people give in to the Media to much, they really need to not believe everything they see and hear on the TV. The military this war is probably doing to the best in any other war to avoid civilian causlties. The insurgants are the ones that are causing such a high causlty rate among the civilians.

It's a disgusting trend, it seems as though public opinion is directing the war in Iraq. What does the public know? As someone who spent a year in Iraq, I can tell you the public doesn't know much. It what respect has 'the public' ever been known to make good decisions? Unfortunately, the media, the pacifist elected officials, they are all causing the terrorists to think if they just hold on for a little longer, the Americans will quit just like they did in Vietnam.

because, for whatever reason, the media has decided that our troops are the bad guys here, not the terrorists hiding behind their children, so the american public mistakenly believes that things are worse than they are. in order to appease this "enlightened" public, our military has to take extra unnececary and often endagering steps to get anythign done at all
