Us yanks stand for freedom and liberty in 'Nam, Korea and the sandpit. We have sacrifice countless lives in our mission. Of course there were collateral damage and this was acceptable in the big scheme of things.
After the USS Cole incident, one cannot be not too careful. There is a price to pay in the pursuit of freedom and liberty. All this hoo ha about this incident is ****ty noise by mischievious anals taking pot shots when they feel they can. 'Nuff said.
