Okay, so in your book, the soldiers doing the shooting were a-ok

Obviously if you shoot the wrong people its not "a-ok". But as far as I can tell the Americans followed the proper procedures.

You can reduce incidents like this but you can't get rid of them, unless you order the soldiers to be passive until someone shoots at them or an explosion goes off, and if you do that you get a lot more dead American soldiers.

That might play in Peoria but not in Varese.

I don't care how it plays, I care about the truth of the situation. I recognize my opinion of the truth could be wrong, I don't have all the info, but I don't change my opinion just because it doesn't play well in Varese.
