Marine Says Rules Were Followed

A sergeant who led a squad of Marines during the incident in Haditha, Iraq, that left as many as 24 civilians dead said his unit did not intentionally target any civilians, followed military rules of engagement and never tried to cover up the shootings, his attorney said.

The MSM, after the initial drive-by series of stories of evil USMC troopers unjustifiably killing Iraqis, a lack of any hard evidence of this is starting to take effect – and the other side of the story is starting to come out.

Ultimately, the Chief thinks this one SHOULD go down as being just one of those sad things that are an INEVITABLE part of the conduct of war. As far as I can tell, NO ONE has ever tried to refute Civil War General William T. Sherman’s ultimate observation concerning this sort of stuff: “War is hell”.
