All I did was show them this.....USa News: — The American military said on saturday that it was investigating a Thursday evening airstrike on a stronghold of insurgent leaders northwest of Baghdad that also killed "nine children" and "six women". The civilian toll is one of the highest to result from a single American military action since the beginning of the Iraq war. The war supporters stated they don't approve of the actions of the USA and regret this happened.

I showed this article to the Marines at/near the base here in Michigan. All the Marines started to cry.

The only time I have ever seen a Marine cry is for the loss of a fellow Marine. You are so full of yourself it is amazing. So what if by accident we killed 15 innocent people in Iraq that day. How about the 4000 US troupes who's lives were lost so that Iraq could be free? In a country where the bad guys don't wear uniforms how can you tell them apart from the good guys. As for the children, they are taught at an early age how to use weapons. Are the women and children truly innocent, I do not think so. Now go take your meds and you will feel better in the morning.

You are a stupid little man with no idea of what is going on in the real world. You get an article and take it as gospel, and use it to crap on the people that provide you the right to do that.
Understand this: We are at war against an enemy that has no interest in any military objective. All they want to do is kill Americans. It is unfortunate in any war where non-combatants get killed, but it is a reality that it happens. In every war that has ever been. Tell me one where it has not happened. However, better the non-combatants non-American, than more of our own, on our own soil.
I have seen other questions you have posted where you claim to be someone, or done something you have not, and use that lie to discredit what our country is doing.
You are a pathetic little uninformed, been no where, done nothing goob.

Hon, the last thing a soldier or Marine wants to see is women and children being hurt or harmed in any way. They have pledged to be there if they are needed and when they cannot help someone they feel it in their bones as sadness and grief!

They cried because time and time again, rather than show the good things that are troops are doing, the media looks for the bad. If the media reported on some of the good stories of real heroism, then maybe there just might be more American support.

sure, it relatively is a sturdy tale approximately life interior the trenches and jogged my memory of the time I lived in Hawaii, going to Pearl Harbor and the Veteran's Cemetery. yet, I trust Jorge, it desires a lot of enhancing, from the easy "your" interior the final stanza, to important tightening up.

If this was a group of insurgent leaders, how can we just assume that because they were women and children, that they were innocent? Its not breaking news that they teach their children to hate America and how to be terrorists.

It happens. I too have laughed so hard that I've shed tears. I couldn't care less about dead Iraqi citizens. I'm sure they had no idea they were near an insurgent stronghold.
