That is by no means an excuse,I was merely trying to state a point.America(or the U.S.A.;for the nit-pickers,lol) by no means has a monopoly on this type of behavior.That does not excuse it,it merely acknowledges it.
Absolutely, the US does not hold a monopoly on this type of activity......BUT don't you, as I, consider those who have committed such acts in the past from various nations, and those who still committ such acts today from various nations....as the lowest of the low.....and NOT the standard by which we, and when I say "we" i mean the civilised peoples who respect each other not to drag them around like a dog???
So when these type of things come out, committed by people who are supposedly in a foriegn country in the name of liberation...then it is and should be met with more alarm bells and disgust than from those who we would consider despots???
We expect atrocious behaviour from people like Mugabe, Hussein etc because they are evil scum
Surely you do not expect and accept the same standard of behavior from people in your military?
