If a child is wounded in an air strike, in the dessert, in the middle of a war zone that Doctors without Borders etc. have abandoned due to safety issues - how long do you think they live? Especially with those huge, nasty spiders running around?
Obviously some people have opinions about this situation that are extreme. That the american military is 100% evil would be one of those extremes. Whatever. It's not something I hear or see very often, or I just don't give it much of my attention when I do. However, being concerned with the fact that innocent people are being killed does not equate, in my mind, to the US military being 100% evil. It is simply that; something to be concerned about. Something we definitely should not ignore or gloss over or just pretend isn't happening. Bickering about the actual number is no different in my mind than exaggerating it, it's just the other extreme. Like if only 14,000 innocent people have been killed then the US mil is 100% righteous?
