In 2008, two Blackwater employees were indicted for murder after a

The danger in this is we may be setting up the US Army for the same
type of thing. There is plenty of evidence that our military has shot
innocent people too.
We can't even start to address the number of innocents who get killed
in aerial attacks, going back almost 20 years in these ill thought out
mid east adventures.
That is the nature of a war where virtually all of the combatants are
out of uniform, fighting from the cover of civilian neighborhoods.

Might as well go all the way back to WW I. Lots of innocents killed with
artillery then. During WW II , there were lots more killed with bombs. And of
course, there was Korea and Vietnam and probably Panama and a few others. Many
like to think only the Bush regime was responsible for killing civilians. Little
bit of bull**** there.

WWII was when the world embraced the mass killing of civilians as
being the way to wage war and we call that the "good" war.. Funny huh?
We carpet bombed cities, torpedoed merchant ships and were the first
people to nuke someone.

Like dad always said, there is no such thing as a fair fight. There are
winners and losers, we brought our A game and won. Remember, on 12/7 we
were attacked. If you poke a sleeping giant you might get stepped on.
