Finally, someone who has some sense.
Well said, Gaberdeen.
EDIT:
How about a balance for OP...
I found a (somewhat graphic) video on youtube where three insurgents tried to car bomb a US position with a bus (or that's what it looked like). One of them didn't survive, and the other two were injured. It's about ten minutes long, and most of it is footage of the medics in this squad trying to save the two survivors.
After these men came with the intent of killing these soldiers, the American troops still saved their lives.
How's that for American brutality?
Here's a link if you want to see it. If you're bothered by blood, though, don't watch it.
