@rex b,
Yeah that story in the original post seems to be pretty far out there... I doubt a group of guys would stand ideally by and watch this happen and not report it.
I just finished a book entitled House to House that was written by David Bellavia who took part in the 2004 fighting in Fallujah. I read it in two days. I would imagine that this book captures what our soldiers go through over there pretty damn well.
Well a very large portion of the troops excluding the handful of fuckheads.
