I understand that, but i am more talking about an attitude shift on a 'conditioning' level. Being completely explanatory, Americans generally have an, attitude, when it comes to dealing with people not American. I have seen examples of that attitude getting in the way of communication with the people billions are being spent to 'win over'.
hard getting the trust of someone while you 'disrespect' them etc.

Do i think that is right?? Doesn't matter what i think. It does seem to work towards the over all objective. Which is??? Not sure, but killing a lot of people must lead to something right? lol
These guys see death day in and day out. They see and experience things that nobody will ever experience. Laugh? Sometimes that is all you can do.

While i agree with you regarding orders, and personally i sit on the fence in regards to this issue based on security, but these events are very effective at making sure a population will always stay angry and always revolt.
even to this day, there is bombs going off in Iraq and you guys are trying to pull out
maybe if one less tank rolled over a civilians car, one less rape... that would have been one more American soldier going home
worth finding out anyway.
