> Done with what? You seemed to be suggesting that they opened up on the van to preserve evidence so that the U.S. could try the "bad guys." This seems to make little sense considering engaging the van killed the only remaining surviving "bad guys" they could try.
> it is feasible to assume that they may have wanted to cart off the weapons as well There's a lot things that are feasible to assume. I don't see what that has to do with opening up on the van. I don't see feasibility of assumption as a justification for any action. The aircraft were in no immediate danger since the guy with the camera, er... "RPG" was already taken care of. If these soldiers could see the "weapons" the guy in the van was trying to "collect" then they could clearly see the two kids in the front seat. Logic has to fucking kick in at some point and make you say "wait, hold the fucking phone, this guy has yet to pick up a weapon and has his two kids in the front seat. Maybe he's not an insurgent." I know this hits you close to home Bruce and Tim and anyone else. I'd like to think if you were in that situation it would go different. I'd also like to think you don't feel every action of military reflects on you personally. Fuck I'd hate to judged based on MY coworker's actions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
