i feel that you can disagree with this war all you want, say that we should never have been there in the first place, because thats debatable. you cant however try to tell me that this war is inhumane, yada yada. i mean come on. this is a war. in times of war, you dont go knock on the terrorists door and say, "excuse me mr. terrorist, if it wouldnt be too much trouble, could we like, look around your house to see if you have any nuclear plans lying around? if it helps we have a search warrant."

you are always going to have assholes committing atrocious crimes, and they get punished for it. very severely. the fact of the matter is that the US military has a great reputation for being civil. there are about 2-3 incidents in this war that were out of line: abu ghraib and the haditha thing. the abu ghraib thing was like w/e. they were idiots, and got punished. civilian deaths are low in this war, contrary to what some assholes will tell you.

also, what daven said about marines never getting prosecuted for rape is a straight up lie. This took me about 5 seconds to find on google.
