OT - US Soldier kills 16 Civilians in Afghanistan

[TicToc]

Have you been to Afghanistan. There is no such thing as "house to house". At best it is small Qualat to small Qualat. For those who don't know imagine a Qualat as a small version of the Alamo. I am not surprised that this event happened, but please refrain from the inflammatory way in which you spread the headline news.

Oh for fuck sake man...

It's hardly something to get worked up about when it is very clear that he cut and pasted the information straight from the press release and which the terminology has no bearing on it whatsoever anyway.

Worked up is a bit of an exaggeration. Would you prefer that I say "I'd appreciate it if you read fully, assimilated, and then decided to pass along to the online masses only information what was simply presenting facts rather than attempting to incite an emotional response with a simple sentence regardless of it's inherent inaccuracies?"

Because if you would prefer I can go back an edit it to read as such.

Perhaps you should edit your comment. He passed on the information EXACTLY as it was presented. If you have a problem with the post you ought to take it up with ISAF media relations.

Well posted, you sure got me. Gee willickers, you sure got straight to the point and intent of the message I had. Your great internet wit and intellect has subdued my request for reason and fairness. You are absolutely right I had a problem with direct quotation rather than the quoting of inflammatory speech regardless of its origin. Well won better man.

Says the guy who's first post to the forum is to accuse the OP of making an inflammatory post when all he did was copy and paste the very same thing everyone is already reading in the news.

Ok troll, you win. This beyond a waste of time for me to spend on you. Simply said I prefer that facts rather than emotion is presented. That being I am done.

Who gives a damn if it's house to-house, qualat-to-qualat or craphole-to-craphole. Sixteen people -- nine of them children -- are dead and it appears a US soldier did it for no justifiable reason and US soldiers not involved in the shooting will die in retaliation as a result.
