Isn't this an instance of an occupying military killing civilians with the same disregard Blackwater mercenaries employed in Iraq?
"Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission cited witness reports saying the marines had fired indiscriminately at pedestrians and vehicles in six different locations along a 10 mile (16 km) stretch of road."
I can almost accept one mistake, but a ten mile stretch of road with multiple incidents? US forces are known to immediately summon air support when under fire, making this appear more like indiscriminate killing.
Out of curiosity, why do these incidents invariably involve US troops when other NATO combat troops are present and engaged in the same activities in the same area?
