Funny how it used to be that Bush would do this, or Cheney would do that, now you guys just refer to "The Powers That Be" or more simply "They".
Can't bring yourselves to recognise that these crimes are now being perpetrated by a liberal administration huh.

Wiki leaks guy has a way of leaving out or altering certain relavent facts, like the alleged "victims" were armed muslim terrorists attempting or planning or previously involved in killing american soldiers. Catch and detain. It's called war.
Wrong!!
It's not called war, it's called business!
As they say follow the money
Your patriotism is severely misplaced
And secondly if you invade a country what do you expect, hugs and kisses?
Imagine if a muslim country invaded the United States, you think you wouldn't have americans shooting those invading troops?
This is not War, this is business
It is so difficult to believe that there are still people who actually think that American troops are doing the right thing by being in Iraq or Afghanistan.
After all that has been exposed it is still not enough
You still have people like yourself saying "Please continue to bankrupt my country to kill civilians in a foreign land".
Unbelievable!!!!

Hopefully it will educate these COD fanboys that War isnt a game and it isnt funny.

The only COD fanboys I see are the ones that post on here, spewing their hatred and "know it all" attitude about the military and the troops.
No one here seems to grasp the fact that the insurgents know that everyone gets their panties in a bunch over dead civilians, so they intentionally hide in villages, knowing if there's an airstrike, civilians will die.
Taliban really seem to be brave when they are hiding behind a civilian human shield.

How come no one on ATS seems to get all excited and whatnot when insurgents kill women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Car bomb goes off in a marketplace, a bunch of women and children are killed, and you don't see Thread One started about that here.
Interesting.....

You seem to be very confused and then say others don't know anything about troops.
Firstly Taliban and insurgents are two different things, yet you use them interchangeably
Secondly we are not there to fight the Taliban we are there to fight Al-Qaeda.
Thirdly you know what an insurgent is? It's a Texan who gets his shotgun when an invader unlawfully enters his home.

Fourthly you others don't know about troops, do you know anything about war on civilians? They are Civilians! Of course 90% of them will run to villages or something to hide, they are civilians!!!!

It's so easy for you to just sit down in your home comfortably when there aren't tanks going around outside your house and airstrikes from an origin you can't even see. It's living in eternal fear. Did you see the first collateral damage video from wikileaks?

Because that is their known and stated Modus Operandi. They are terrorists. People get bent out of shape about the U.S. Military doing this kind of stuff because the government has been spewing propaganda that we are some weird amalgamation of knights in shining armor, Superman and Jesus Christ all rolled into one.

WikiLeaks Founder Has Massacre Video
w ww.thedailybeast.com
(visit the link for the full news article)
After several days underground, the founder of the secretive website WikiLeaks has gone public to disclose that he is preparing to release a classified Pentagon video of a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan last year that left as many as 140 civilians dead, most of them children and teenagers.
While denying again that WikiLeaks has the State Department cables, Assange acknowledges in the email today that he is in custody of the May 2009 video that shows the airstrike on the Afghan village of Garan

To begin with and lets get things straight up and down to earth. Nothing and anything you do via the web is accessible. Only those who know and those who do not exist live and are so called "surfing" the net without any digital fingerprint. Those individuals are not in some basement but rather are very well connected and switched on to how the internet lives and you and myself breathe oxygen for our very existence. That being said, lets try and stay focused here.

they will say well, the kids had bombs on their asses, so they had to kill them all
