Okay, this is starting to get wierd. Why is it that whenever a civilian target gets hit, mostly its always a funeral. Either the Military hates funerals, or its just one big coinsidence.

Further more, how can the Taliban use things like this to get people on there side, when they purposly bomb civilian populations. Atleast our airstrikes are accidents, we don't purposly target civilian populations. I don't understand that whenever NATO makes mistakes, the Afghan population gets in open arms against us, and troops face more threats from the population. More people joining the Taliban, or not giving us Info. Yet when the Taliban purposly do it, you don't see the population in the news yelling death to the taliban, or going out of there way to help NATO destroy them.

Because if you complain loudly at NATO you get more aid, if you complain to the Taliban you get killed.

That's funny Chumley! But very true.

The Americans tend to play by their own rules some times when it comes to targets. The Canadians go above and beyond what is needed, in order to keep civilians safe.
