Still amazes me how "unintended civilian casualties" somehow morphed into "murder of civilians" in the short period between WWII and 'Nam. Even more fascinating is the way only Americans are typically viewed as murderers in such matters but militaristic forces even blatantly using civilians as shields between themselves and other forces are not viewed similarly, eventhough such acts not only are morally unconscienable but straight-up cowardly to boot.

But, such actions serve well those who seek to vilify soldiers who have had the choice of kill or be killed foisted upon then in such instances and were left with basically a choice to have to take innocent lives as a part of their own defense or be killed themselves. I've often wondered if the bleedin heart types ever took the time to really look at the whole picture before just layin blame at the feet of a soldier who in honesty was only left with one choice in such instances?

Thanks again to, you guessed it ....Liberalism, Newspeak, Psychobabble and let's not forget those lovely folks over at Politically Correct for all their (misguided) help in such vilifications
