Pilgrim - wee small hours? Check the time on the video. 1630 if I remember correctly.
Please understand that, having worked with the US military on numerous occassions, I have the utmost respect for the majority of them. There are, as in any military, a few bad apples. The problem comes when Americans fail to see that they are bad apples and try to defend their actions. There is an uneven moral relativism here which seems to allow American soldiers to do what they want because they are in combat, but castigates the enemy for even thinking about shooting back. I agree that it's important to realise who's side you're on, but retaining the moral high ground requires a slightly more objective viewpoint - if a guy has done wrong, he has done wrong, no matter which side he's on.
That said, I'll repeat that the majority of Americans I have met are great people.
