This happens in every war dating back to god knows when. The only difference is this was recorded.

Here's my question to DoK. Placed in the same situation do you man up and tell your supervisors no when that guarantees you a court martial for insuboridnation and possible treason which pulls 10-20 in a max prison and seals your fate for life after it or do you puss out also and pull a "yes sir" like many others do to keep your job and life.

tin on the regular military people for doing their job is a joke. If you want to start somewhere with a fight go from the top down and work your way there first otherwise your words are nothing but straight got talk from a with no voice behind a monitor.

it's terrible to expect people to be held accountable for their personal actions.

Well, civilians embedded with the enemy should expect to have a short lifespan.

It was his decision!

It's wrong to expect engagements in a civilian setting to not end in civilian deaths.

It's also a chance the press takes when they enter into war zones.

There must be this unparalleled trust of the US forces by the press, as they seem to move around the battlefield as if it's a mock up.

Yes, this was debated right after the video release some months back.

The reported was embedded with the enemy. He was shot as if he was one of them.

Oh, and how about the other brilliant move: Hey, helicopter gunfire just killed about 10 people standing in front of me. I think I will drive my van with my kids in it up there and pick up some bodies.

They don't view kids as we do.

While that may be true, I'd say you have little to no idea how they view anything.

I'd never take a job that requires me to kill innocent children to avoid a court martial.

he's not blaming it just on the actual soldiers, but the military as a whole

lol you gotta love the military nuthuggers going to the patented Vietnam vet line, "You don't know man! You weren't there!"

I don't recall seeing kids in the video. How were they to know?

Would any sane person drive a van full of kids into a combat zone? They had to have seen what was going on.

Unless we know for sure that baby didn't have a bomb surgically inserted into his rectum, the military has every right to spray the baby with machine gun bullets!

I love how Wild KKKobra acts like these Iraqis made a conscious decision to live in a war zone and didn't already live there before the American military made the area a war zone.

You may not like me pointing out possibilities, but at least I don't display the lack of ethics you do.

I agree they didn't make a decision to live in a war zone if that was the case, however, they did make the decision to rescue a terrorist. Surely, they could see what had happened.

I don't recall the reference of children in the van, when the story broke so long ago. What is meant by children? Toddlers? Teenagers? Young soldiers? And again, I don't recall any "children" being visible in the video.

A terrorist? They were rescuing some journalist scros mistaken as terrorists
