Reply #2: Yes it is a tragedy, yes it is war

[nadinbrzezinski]

but once you start covering things like this, then all your justifications for anything start to go away.

And yes I do get it, secrecy and war and that shit, but this should have been investigated, if crimes committed prosecuted (before you scream laws of war are not that cut and dry) and a whole sale review of Rules of Engagement.

Oh and I do get it WHY they decided to go for the cover-up... but that in itself is generating all the "bad press" they wanted to prevent.

Oh and I am not blase about civilian casualties in a war zone, but my perspective is a little warped... after all I got shot at riding in a nice vehicle with a target acquisition device a few times. (Otherwise known as a Red Cross)

And yes, I KNOW I am lucky to be alive. But that kind of changes your perspective just a smidgen.
