you do every US soldier discredit by your comments.   How about this ...

1st gulf war ... 4 special forces personnel in a spider hole deep behind lines monitoring a major transport road. How about 2 iraq kids coming into the field kicking a soccer ball into the spider hole. The special forces told to do whatever they need to so they would not be found.   All of the men saying we didn't come here to kill no kids ... the two girls went to town told everyone about Americans ... and the shit hit the fan ... probably 200 guys heavily armed against 4 .. almost of of ammo .. one shot up ... an apache came over and sprayed cannon and rocket fire on the field of bad guys or no one would be out ...

That is the US soldier I know .. NOT one that fires on a van with KIDS
HOT ZONE, yea you engage, was this a hot zone ... where you there??
I ask the question ... otherwise you don't engage even with weapons, unless ordered or fire upon. You know what the fuck you are talking about guy ...
