A little British ass whooping?

Here we have again, another case of the media doing more harm than good to the cause and the fight we are in. Britain's "News of the World", published an article on the supposed "wretched abuses" inflicted upon poor innocent Iraqi youth some time in 2004. Or at least that's the way the story unfolds.

You really need to look at the bigger picture before reacting to this story. British forces had just been attacked with a DIY hand grenades. They'd been attacked with rocks, sticks, stones and other home-made weapons and verbal slurs. These "kids" were the attackers. The "whistleblower" himself acknowledges,"I'm sure those Iraqis weren't innocent little boys,I bet they'd all been slinging rocks and maybe even explosives."

The media of course has latched on to this, portraying the soldiers as callous abusers bent on destruction. In doing so, they make the entire British army, and all coalition forces look bad, because a few men made some poor choices in the middle of a war zone.

Sorry, if I were in the middle of a war zone with "kids" and others who fought dirty, dress as civilians and attack me, and I got a chance to open a can of whoop ass on them. I sure as hell would. And so would anyone. Any person who says otherwise is so full of sh*t, that they can't see through the brown in their eyes.
