US Marine Corp must be very proud,

Women and Babies killed in cold blood.

So exactly who are the the good guys again?

14 men, 7 women & 3 children murdered in a revenge killing, if reports are true. One marine got killed when a roadside bomb hit a Humvie, so the rest set up a roadblock, killed the occupants of the first car to come along (4 students) then went house to house killing the occupants. This wasn't civilians getting caught in crossfire - this was systematic and cruel murder for fun. Why else did they lock 4 guys in a warddrobe before shooting them?

Question si though, how much should we let the actions of the few reflect on the whole army? Is the whole thing flawed or is this a case of a few murders amoungst an otherwise good army?

Very true Belgiamfreak indeed, but add Abu Grabbe and the secret flights across Europe of what the USA call "Enemy Combatants" and you don't have an isolated few bad eggs.

Edit- Almost forgot Guantanamo Bay

It was covered up as much as possible until the inevitable truth came out.
So again, same question, Exactly who are the good guys?
