Reply #115: "Took part in hostilities"?

[Nihil]

As in "was in the same city block"?
Or maybe "was injured by one of the many shells fired at the area"?

Are you speaking for the Administration or the DoD?
If not, how can you pretend that the small children murdered by the invading
forces were "the enemy"?

Leave out the "Iraqi on Iraqi" kills.
Leave out the mythical "Al-Quaida" kills.
Leave out those killed by the anonymous "insurgents".
Are you still defending the killing of the remaining civilians as
some kind of "shit happens" hand-wave?

> You have no clue what the military is or isnt.

Wrong. The military is a collection of killers. That's exactly what they've
been trained to do and exactly what you want when trying to defend your country.
Unfortunately, the problem is that they've been loosed onto a bunch of innocent
civilians in the name of greed & profit.

I don't blame a guard dog for savaging some drunk who climbs over the fence,
ignoring the warnings. If, on the other hand, the guard dog gets into a
schoolyard of small children and lays waste all around, I DO have a problem
with people blaming the children ...
