(29,852 posts)His own RoE claim "kill every male you see" is supported by the actions taken against those that fit that demographic, even including US humanitarian aid workers. Press credentials is why some were allowed to transport even patients past the checkpoints.
Plenty of witnesses make a distinction between bombs & snipers. One even says this: "Even during a so-called ceasefire, Fallujah was under siege with bombing, missiles and mortar attacks," she said.
"But the worst form of attack was the US snipers hiding on rooftops who kill hundreds of civilians as they tried to move about the city."

It would have to either be very ignorant or pretend to believe snipers are a saint-like do no wrong types to not look at the most lethal sniper happened to be in the same place when many different people making the sniper claims, while also his claims, his supervisor claims backs up their claims just their's from the perspective of the real world consequences as a result from their actions. Also people picked off from hidden snipers clearly looks different than being randomly picked off by a mortar, especially a machine gun, a tank, a gun ship in Fallujah? Pilots? They already mention bombs in addition to the snipes.
I concede snipers generally are professionals with high standards with legitimate objectives, just like any other profession, it can be corrupted by corrupt people.
