35. How did I know you'd attack Manning while completely ignoring war crimes.

War crimes are just the price you pay for living in society according to you. If you could only focus your bile toward attacking actual war criminals, maybe you could accomplish something decent in your life. But go on and keep attacking one of the few people in this country who is brave enough to expose the horrific things our military does.

Thanks, that seems open to interpretation. We should have never gone. That's my issue. War stinks. freshwest Dec 2012 #15
Precisely. We shouldn't have been there in the first place jberryhill Dec 2012 #16

Wasn't there a curfew in place at the time? randome Dec 2012 #34
A curfew is enforced by machine-gunning men who are standing around doing nothing? JackRiddler Dec 2012 #36
I don't get you. I thought we were talking about the helicopter attack, not men 'standing around'. randome Dec 2012 #37
Obviously you've never been in a place where the military rules and has a curfew. hobbit709 Dec 2012 #39
Breaking curfew and standing around with RPGs... Lightbulb_on Dec 2012 #47
There were no RPGs. Men were shot for carrying wounded men. JackRiddler Dec 2012 #48
Maybe these were just cardboard cutout RPGs... Lightbulb_on Dec 2012 #53
