When you occupy a country for a decade, you will have a few mistakes. The only real good way to eliminate these mistakes is to stop occupying countries.

In a case of murder the murderer is to blame by definition.

Yes and no. Burning Qurans and leaving them on a garbage heap outside the base is not a mistake that should ever happen, whether or not you are occupying countries. It is not an understandable mistake. If it is an understanble mistake, there is something very, very wrong with the culture of the base.

Any dumbass stupid enough to believe in AND FOLLOW THE EDICTS OF a religion that charters "death" as an appropriate punishment for destroying a physical thing deserves to be committed to a mental institution.

They're either incompetent, insane, blood-lusted, or some combination of the three.

Errors of judgement happen.


This isnt on the same level as other unbelievable errors of judgement for an occupying force...like say rounding people up and putting them in ovens....


Mistakes of this level should be expected to happen when you have thousands of people making thousands of decisions. Sh*t happens. We can pretend like this should never happen, but we know it will. If we stay a few more years, someone else will make a bad decision and people will use it as an excuse to kill others.


You can get around this easily by leaving.

Again, yes and no. If we apply the same standards to anything we realize that soldiers massacring civilians for fun is bound to happen in any war. That doesn't make it understandable or excusable when it happens.


I agree we shouldn't be in a situation where stuff like this can happen but the inevitability of human stupidity doesn't make being stupid ok. This is a tremendous cock-up that never should have occured.

Who are the two that blamed America? I bet they blame rape victims for how they dress.
