What were these American Soldiers thinking

Found on another board

"SAMARA, Iraq - A LITTLE Iraqi girl - no more than eight years old - squatted beside the road with tears of humiliation streaming down her cheeks.

Twenty feet away, three American soldiers had their rifles aimed at her as she was forced to relieve herself in full view of a long line of parked cars. From inside their vehicles, the Iraqi onlookers screamed their rage at the U.S. troops. Whenever someone ventured to step out of a vehicle, an American officer bellowed, "Get back in the car, *******!" and the .50 calibre machine gun mounted on the U.S. Hummer would swing menacingly toward the protester.

The terrified little girl was weeping uncontrollably by the time she dropped her skirt and ran back to her mother. Her understandably enraged father began working his horn and other Iraqi drivers quickly took up the protest by doing the same."

If it's true, I think it's awful, absolutely disgusting, sickening, they are making a mockery of the people that live there, the soldiers know damn well how protective the men are of their women (In this case, girls)...on second thought, its disgusting to do with anyone!!
Coincidence, my best friends name is Samara...

As a soldier myself I am appauled at that action these assholes should get a dishonorable discharge ASAP

Strange way to "liberate" a country.

Damn... Is this really true?
