I will take the word of the boots on the ground...most of which I have served with and some of which I have known for more than twenty years...over any media report...or report from anyone else...thank you very much. They live what is going on every day.

I can't say King... don't know enough of em to make generalised statements. But I doubt from the little I have seen of US troops, that I'd take any "reasonable judgement" from.
Individually, I'm sure there are many good guys who can "assess", but we have one massive load of ... literally kids... who are being punted out there and possess absolutely nada experience of fuck all.
That is sure part of the problem - no "creds". It's like Rice said, "US forces are trained to kill, and that's what they should be doing". These kids can't "manage" things or relate to people - screw the concept of "peacekeepers".
It's even more sad when ya look at the ages on the death lists. Some asshole needs to be accountable for that shit. It has bugger all to do with "military law" - it's criminal.
