Last month an air srike was called in against Talaban militants. The strike hit it's target, and much more. The strike flowed onto the civilians that we say we are there to protect. The personel in charge of the Air Strike justifies the actions of the troops by saying that the number of militants killed "greatly outnumbered" the number of civilians.
This is crap, the military has extensive training methods, and they know what the Geneva Convention says about killing civilians with no provacation. As of right now, there is not going to be any sort of court martial or any sort of trial. This is where more and more Americans will adopt anti-war beliefs, just like in Vietnam, based off of immoral treatment to civilians.
The military had orders to execute the air strike, and thats what they did. If inocent civilians were injured then thats to bad. The military did not mean to hurt inocent civilians it just happend. Why should there be a court trial regarding the air strike if they were keeping your ass safe.
