Sure, why not. Of course, no one covered the story about the British Challanger II tanks killing each other. Also in Iraq.
The World only focus on every American mistake.
Those American troops are going through hell right now. They are facing an enemy unafraid of death, and who are also not afraid to harm American Troops and Iraqi people in any sort of attack. The strikes can come from anywhere, from any angle, from anyside.
They are unwilling to take any chances. If an man starts running at you, you open fire, only later do you get the chance to find out if he was a bad guy, or an innocent, yet the entire world blames the American Troops.
I live next to Fort Lewis, the largest Military Army base in the Northwest. I have seen friends head out, and have seen Iraqi Vets come in. They are twitchy.
A pothole on the road might send them serving in fear.
Road side bombs where stuck in potholes.
A motorcycle coming up quick behind them could start sending fear racing through the bodies.
The insurgents have been known to ride up next to vehicles and chuck grenades through windows.
They are not willing to take a single chance with anyone.
I fucking understand. When all this shit is over, I personally will not do what our parents did during Vietnam, look down on our returning troops.
