If you support the troops
   
This is what you support:

"In one notable and comparable incident in February of 2010, US Special Operations Forces surrounded a house in a village in the Paktia Province in Afghanistan. Two civilian men exited the home to ask why they had been surrounded and were shot and killed. US forces then shot and killed three female relatives (a pregnant mother of ten, a pregnant mother of six, and a teenager).

Instead of calling in an airstrike to hide the evidence, US troops, realizing their mistake, lied and tampered with the evidence at the scene. The initial claim, which was corroborated by the Pentagon, was that the two men were insurgents who had “engaged” the troops, and the three murdered women were simply found by US soldiers, in what they described as an apparent honor killing. Investigations into the incident eventually forced the Pentagon to retract its initial story and issue an apology."

This is what you support, if you "support our troops". This is how war is, no matter whether a "good" or a "bad" war. No way to wiggle out of that. Have a nice day.

I seem to recall if anything bad happened when Bush was POTUS that an incident like this would go all the way to the top, and Bush should have been frogmarched, etc. So I'm sure the calls for impeachment, frogmarching, and war crimes will follow.

So far only one response,

1. They F*cked up
   
not sure what the story has to do with the tag line?

I expect any minute now that the calls for impeachment will show up.  :whatever:
