here is a quote from the artice
MARJAH, Afghanistan – Taliban fighters holding out in Marjah are increasingly using civilians as human shields, firing from compounds where U.S.
and Afghan forces can clearly see women and children on rooftops or in windows, Afghan and U.S. troops said Wednesday.
these people are firing from compounds
here is a picture of a compound from the air
and another
So are the women and children meant to wait on the outside of these compounds during the fighting?
I would feel that most women and children don't really trust any military after having Russian soldiers kill family members and now Coalition forces
killing family members.
could you imagine for a second what it would be like to be a 10 year old Afghan child seeing soldiers.
these people are not human shields, they are trying to live in a home and cope the best way they can while fools keep shooting at them, blowing up
their homes or kill their livestock.
The coalition doest need human shields, they have fox news, cnn, msm.
they have the propoganda and it doesn't matter how many of your buddies die, because it makes great TV
