Sorry

Gen. Petraeus 'apologized' after NATO helicopter gunships slaughtered 9 Afghan children the other day.
These 'mistakes' happen frequently, but there doesn't seem to be much impetus to eliminating or reducing them. The Afghans are well aware of this, it's obvious to everyone that an Afghan life isn't worth shit to the US and especially its soldiers. Still, people like Petraeus continue the farce that it does matter, while trying to cover up anything that can be covered up.

At the same time, Bradley Manning has been charged with 'bringing discredit upon the Armed Forces'. That is, for revealing that the US slaughters civilians, and covers it up.

Kinda says it all, don't it.
