19. why do you minimize it? are you = in level with terrorists?
with Japanese empire? Don't you hold the military to higher standard? Well, don't you?

If we want to quantify death and misery at the hands of the U.S. over the years by means of Kuwaiti highway bombed out in 91 with hundreds of innocents killed along with supposed "bad guys". Dresden fire bombing. Tokyo fire bombing. Bombing raids over Vietnam. US supply and training of paramilitary groups in central and south America. I'm sure you could reasonably pin MILLIONS of deaths on the way the US government conducted itself. And I'm sure you can rationalize every last life that was snuffed by US actions.

Here's what I know: I demand more from my government and military than you do, apparently.

Is it more obvious because we are shamed to our faces with video/photos? Undoubtedly. But precisely because we DO have such clear and viscerally damning evidence...our revulsion and expectation for accountability should be instant and overwhelming.

If you don't feel bad about these photos, I feel bad for you as a person. If you can't understand what Rooney was trying to posit...there really is no hope.

If you're just p!ssing on us...that's really sad.
