Exactly...
When you consider the very real FACT that the Taliban are on the ground and are face to face with many of the civilians they've killed, In many cases they actually knew the people they were killing having hid their weapons in their homes and accepted their hospitality under Afghanistan cultural law of not turning away a stranger.
So yes it is worse.
They should be responsible for a hell of a lot less than 76% of civilian casualties.
Regarding PressTV's credibility.
Come on oos they are totally biased.
Watch the picture carefully and here is a question, if the Taliban had jets would you say it is alright and not terrorism for them to call for air strikes targeting US troops while knowing civilians and innocent people are around? Then again you will ignore everything
I would say that if people are in the area where these people are firing off missles then they best get somewhere else.......
because if MY boys have hell raining down on them , im taking out that target, and your best bet is to make sure your 6 is well the hell aware from there, and if not........good luck

I do not think that the troops have an order to kill civilians, I think it is the method in which actions and objectives in the war are made. It is easy to control people when they are just following orders and the orders make sense, although have unintended consequences that seem to not be avoided.

Hundreds of villagers shouted "Death to the United States" as they blocked a main road in eastern Afghanistan after Nato forces killed three people in a raid.
Villagers said there was no fighting before the troops entered the house.
"They were sleeping in one room and suddenly the soldiers broke the glass window and they fired on them and killed them," Mahmoud Khan, a relative who lives in the village, was quoted as telling The Associated Press news agency.
Oh you mean mingling with the locals to gather intel? or because they are a security force, where else would you expect them to be then where they can provide security against the
