They must of thought she had an RPG.

The pregnant women were killed by the crossfire. Read the article.

I like how you think I didn't read the article. It's cute. Especially when this quote shows otherwise.

U.S. Special Operations commandoes in February mistakenly killed five Afghans, including two pregnant women, and then tried to cover up their mistake. An investigation by NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) determined that American and Afghan special forces arrived at the village of Khataba in Paktia province on February 12, entered a residential compound, and opened fire on two men—a police officer and a local prosecutor—because “they showed what appeared to be hostile intent by being armed,” according to the investigation. The two pregnant women, along with an 18-year-old girl, were also killed by the gunfire.

were also killed by the gunfire.

They weren't aiming for the women.

And the Police in Afghanistan have been known for committing crimes, like staging firefights so they can sell bullets to the Taliban, by staging the firefights they have good reason to say they dun have bullets. But who knows...Maybe this officer was commiting acts of violence.

So our soldiers are now poorly trained and can't shoot worth ****? Lovely.

Grim:
Read Lone Survivor. Distinguishing between civilians and enemies is not an easy thing to do, and the liberal media loves picking up stories about soldiers killing civilians even though they might have had no other choice. Soldiers have died before because they haven't killed "civilians".

Our soldiers do have good aim. Bullets can go through people, know that?

I dont see why the liberal media isnt slamming the way the Taliban round up American supports and shoot them.

Hey you see that guy over there? Does he pose a threat to you? Yes? Is he shooting at you? Yes? (Does he have a camera?) Enemy.

Is he none of that? Yes? Civilian. It isn't hard to distinguish between the **** shooting at you and the civilian not shooting at you. You just like giving a good gunwank to the military, even if they are inherently useless. I doubt 5 m4 carbine bullets would just so happen to go through the enemy, and kill 5 civilians. That seems a little, hm, I don't know, STUPID?

Because that would be redundant. I don't think anyone, outside of the taliban, supports that. You guys like creating a fake enemy. In this case the 'liberal media'. Which by the way, isn't reporting on this story.

Okay...Listen to me...Did the media state how far they were? Or if they were running? Or what they were wearing? NERP! These facts needed to be stated. Try figuring out friend or foe from 200 yards.

It should be easy to distinguish the guy with a gun, and the pregnant Afghan woman who's running away.

You're in Afghanistan. All the natives look the same and dress similarly. The police officer has a gun (probably can't afford a uniform either). It isn't as simple as you think it is. Until you go to war you have no right to criticize what was going on in the mind of the soldiers.

They didn't kill (I think it was 3?) farmers in Lone Survivor and the farmers ended up telling the Taliban the soldier's location. These were unarmed civilians. You're a soldier looking our for people trying to kill you. You see a man with a gun. What would you think?

[Jews biatch]

But...You are avoiding something! You are avoiding the fact that maybe these men ran in their area, try shooting a moving target and hitting the target 100% of the time at a range of say 200 yards.

They raided a house, dumbass. It shouldn't be hard to distinguish the police officer and the armed taliban soldier.

I hope I'd think of the rules of engagement. If I saw an armed man on my property, I'd shoot him. Maybe that's what goes through the mind of those farmers?
