See, I agree. But at the same time, I understand Americanos stand. That is a luxury, as I am neutral. I see both views, understand them.
Marines are called worse than murderers quite ofen, because as you said, they are sent instead of the army corps, to accomplish a task.
But war as a whole still drags on.

However, these incidents have been vigorously prosecuted, and the Corps does not stand by, and let atrocities happen, as some are attempting to portray. I personally don't like the sentences these guys are getting, I feel they are very lenient, but at the same time, we do not sit by and just ignore shit when it happens.

Agreed.
When(more than if) I critizise the U.S. military, it becomes from the fact that you operate where locals don't want you, you are not on your own soil. And that U.S. troops cannot be taken to trial like any other soldier from any other nation.
My view is that your troops have no right to have such a shield. -But, I also understand the reasons for the shield.
