Afghan children

I don't think anyone has mentioned the Afghan children. From a woman's POV, seeing the wounded children made me sick to my stomach. The poor little baby in its father's arms was very sad.

I thought the documentary was very good.

They don't give a *beep* To them they simply said "damnit I made a mistake, oh well."

But when their fellow troop was killed, all hell went loose. If one of their children were to get hurt or killed, they would have lost their *beep* But because it is a child from Afghanistan, why would they care?

Stirchley: Your remark was exactly the same as my reaction basically! (I'm a man..) It was by far the most shocking image of the film and those civilian deaths and wounded are at least -at least!- as dramatic as the soldiers'.
