you need to see outside on the box on this one i know its easier to just say AMERICAN SOLDIERS SUCK

but in the end the tactics of the enemy and the way they prosecuted the war themselves lended to collateral damage, not VENGEFUL TRIGGER HAPPY SOLDIERS. I challenge either of you to kit up and stand a day on the corner of any street in iraq post regime fall in 03-05 and see if you dont DEFEND YOURSELF

give me a break even for you daisy this is pretty low
So, reporting what the coroner in Britain has found is going pretty low is it Rakk?

Are you really so brainwashed? such a victim of propaganda?

Look mate, you can deny things as much as you want, but the rest of the world is NOT blind to what was and is happening in Iraq.

Pretending your guys are perfect doesn't make them innocent of war crimes.

I saw enough of the Iraq war Rakk, and it was not pretty.

There was plenty of evidence that a significant no of US troops were little better than poorly trained thugs. I and millions of people in the Arab world saw plenty of evidence of it.

We know that journalists were killed, and we know that troops killed unarmed Iraqis who were not any threat, and who were obviously not any threat.

I agree that poorly trained troops out of their depth are jumpy and likely to make mistakes, and that is why those responsible for putting these people in this position are at least as culpable as those who were on the ground.

You are in denial and living in your fantasy world, but outside the US it is obvious that the fantasy is unravelling.
