They were walking casually down the road. Even with a plane overhead, they didn't run or try to take cover as someone would if they were not innocent.
My heart is heavy, and I pity anyone who isn't bothered by that thirty second video, or that would try to defend it.
It's always blame the troops first with you people isn't it?
I don't know about you but from the first time the pilot talks you can tell that they had been tracking different groups from the air. He says "I got numerous individuals on the road, do you want me to take those out?" The inflection in his voice says it all, to me he is asking about another group of people. You also forget that in April is when the big push started coming form the terrorists and insurgents in Fallujah. It was the time when we lost the most amount of good soldiers in a single month. There was intense fighting going on in that town in April and I doubt there were groups of unarmed people just walking around town. To do so meant running into gun battles. I doubt very highly that these people were unarmed and innocent.
Have any of you showed this must anger at the innocent civilians getting their
heads cut off?
I know most of you won't like the site but its the only one I know of that has all of videos in one place. Most of them are at the bottom of the page.
It'a always attack the patriotism with you people isn't it? Naturally if there are feelings of revulsion for the killing of those people that means that "we people" must not care about those beheaded, sympathize with Saddam, hate America. Grow up.
I didn't attack your patriotism in any way did I? Did I call you unpatriotic? If being part of the blame America first crowd makes you feel that way, then I can't help you. If you feel that way from my post then that could be some sort of underling guilt.
I haven't seen a post yet where people such as you have cried fowl about the beheadings. If you have I stand corrected. It just seems you think worse of the possible wrong doings of the US military then you do of the killings of civilians that aren't American. Have you seen the videos of the beheadings? We know for a fact that those people were innocent, but we don't know about the "civilians" in the bombing video.
Being in the military I happen to know a thing or two about procedure. As mentioned, that video would have been taken during the uprising in April of insurgents and terrorists. Wouldn't it stand to reason that these were indeed insurgents on the prowl of coalition troops, especially US Marines who lost the most amount of people that month?
