"The events threaten to land a major blow to the US military’s reputation in Iraq." I guess he means the reputation for incompetence, jailing of people for no reason, lying, stealing, conducting a nonsensical occupation and creating a hellish chaos out of the country. People keep saying that it's not the military's fault but this kind of activity most certainly IS the military's fault especially as there appears to be a coverup in addition to the killing of children. The media never mentioned again that Saddam's 14 year old grandson was shot along with his sons or that there were some kids picked up in Afghanistan. The US military is getting back its reputation for brutality that it has been trying to lose since Vietnam. This will lead to further PTSD in the military and a whole new generation of very sick veterans.
