Agent Orange.

ER, I refuse to believe you don't think the US deliberately and on purpose, with malice aforethought, doesn't target civilians. If they don't, they are the most incompetent military on Earth.

Agent Orange wasn't aimed at civilians? Cluster bombs are marked with spray paint, "For combatants only!". Napalming a village leaves clear areas where families were standing?

Of course not, and you're smart enough to see that if you hadn't turned off some critical portions of your brain. The Stars and Stripes is not a cleaning rag which will erase war crimes. But I will say that it IS a blindfold for some people, who use it to shut their eyes and hold their noses while they glorify America's noble efforts to slaughter only badguys with weapons like B-52 carpet bombing, with smart bombs carefully weaving in and out while they avoid farmers, schools, women and children.

It was a United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, who said "Shit happens". Or words to that effect. What "shit" do you think he meant, he was excusing?

The US military committed the offences at Mai Lai, and the US civilian government in effect excused it. And you want to tell me the US does not deliberately target civilians!!!??? And I should just listen, passively, and say that if those shooters had on American uniforms they are innocent? Do you intend the insult, or is it "collateral damage"?

You must think I'm awfully stupid, or naive, or ignorant or blind.
