JB, Absolutely agree w/ you. Some folk get on a crusade over a single incident and have a fit over it. The girl faired well. Think of another situation where she is beckoned...sweetly, to the soldiers and then triggers a bomb, mine, or simply pulls a pistol and starts shooting once she closes to a few meters. There were no bullies. She was not harmed. Scared the heck out of her, but no harm done. The soldiers (19-20) year old kids, did it RIGHT. After being shot several times, a soldier begins to believe that the next person approaching him is a direct or indirect (set-up) attempt to kill him. If he fails to adapt to the mindset of point first (did not say shoot) and then ask questions, his probability of surviving the dangers of Baghdad is greatly lessened. To think they acted improperly is inconsistent with every rational thought of self preservation and common sense IMO.
