Who accused these marines? How would a soldier know who is a civilian and who is a militant? Don't they dress the same? Aren't the militants using human shields, mosques, children, hospitals, etc. in there nafarious tactics? It seems CBS is the only news outlet carrying this story, no surprise there! Anything to make the U.S. look bad in this war on terror is the leftwing way.

Wonderful, now lets handcuff the Marine Corps Special Forces Teams and prevent them from effectively carrying the war to the enemy. If civilians die as a direct result of the manner in which the enemy conducts itself our Marines should not be held responsible.

If our men aren't given the latitude necessary to destroy our enemies then we need to get them the hell out of there.

Marines are not police officers and should not be expected to respond like them. The mission of the Marine Corps Fire Team is "to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by fire and close combat". Please let them carry out this mission or bring them home.
