How to foster the next generation of 'Terrorist' -102

I still have to say, even after just reading the articles I've found that I'm shocked. Here we have soldiers firing at a moving vehicle with six kids and all they hit were the two people in the front seat. Incredible.
 
One boy was injured in his back, but I'm not sure whether that was by a bullet, or maybe shards of glass. It was however not a serious injury.

Still that was very impressive marksmanship.

These soldiers are placed in very high risk areas under pressure to not only protect themselves but those around them. In high tension situations panic is the enemy and when someone causes a soldier to react out of instinct in a life or death situation their duties are to stop them from getting through and keep others from harm if possible. Had it been a legitimate terrorist attack that split second reaction would have saved many lives. We all know it is not beyond some groups to use children as distractions to keep the opposition from making a clear judgment call. Of course it is tragic that those poor children had to witness it. Our only hope is that they can forgive because I don't think they will ever be able to forget.

Parents got stupid in a warzone. What does getting stupid in a warzone get you? What would you do TG in this situation? Your comrades are getting cut down by car bombs every day. A car is coming towards your squad. You and your squadmates yell for it to stop in english, arabic and with body language. You aim your weapons at it. It doesn't stop. Personally I'd have opened fire too.

Glad the kids are ok though.
 
Yeah and one day in the future that little girl won't be a terrorist or some poor Burka wearing slave she may well be a successful entrepreneur or a Doctor perhaps an Iraqi lawmaker all because of the actions of our brave military.

Besides her parents were to stupid to raise her anyway… :nuts:
 
Despite what anyone says, it has been proven again and again that peace, stability and personal freedom is best won with confilict.
