It's either a bunch of hooded men with guns and rpgs or it's rubble and men with guns and rpgs. The MSM seems to want to paint terribly crude picture of every nation that isn't allied with or that doesn't agree with the US.

That adds more proof that it was an inside job. If they all knew about it then it would stand to reason that it would far more likely that they were "in the know" about what local terrorists were doing.

That picture is just too perfect. It has to somehow be a staged propaganda piece.
Mohammad Sherrif, District Governor for Sangin, salutes the battlefield cross for USMC Gunnery Sgt. Ralph E. Pate Jr., an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician with 8th Engineer Support Battalion in support of 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, Regimental Combat Team 8.
Memorial ceremony held at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Jackson, Sangin, Afghanistan July 11, 2011.
Pate was killed in action while conducting combat operations in the district on June 26, 2011.

Gunnery Sgt. Ralph E. Pate - A True American Hero
Dust settled everywhere as Company Commander Greg Wrubluski rose from the ground, sprinted toward a gaping dirt crater and screamed the name of his comrade.
The force of a crude bomb had torn through a rock wall in a post-9/11 war zone of the southwest province of Helmand, Afghanistan, flooring Wrubluski and instantly killing his 29-year-old comrade, Gunnery Sgt. Ralph Earl "EJ" Pate Jr.
As team leader of the 2nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company with the United States Marine Corps, Pate and his 12-man squad were disarming improvised explosive devices (IEDs) planted by terrorists.
"He leaned over the wall and said, 'hey, I got a secondary,'" said Wrubluski, recalling the fateful moment June 26, 2011 when Pate - a married father of two - discovered an additional IED hidden behind a waist-high wall.
As soon as Pate leaned down, the device went off.
