    Who wrote that webpage? Although the images are disturbing, I don't feel like I can trust it. It frequently draws conclusions, and name-calls soldiers.

    Don't the insurgents make children fight, anyways? Could the soldiers be talking about killing armed children?

    Where does the author even get the quotes? To me, it's entirely possible that those soldiers are made up. I see no documentation or anything.

    All the pictures of beat up children are from the cluster bombs--I think the author wants to confuse them and make it look like soldiers are running around leveling legions of children. Even if the quotes from the soldiers were real, I wouldn't be convinced of that by this article.

    I'm not pro-war or anything, either.

    I'll take the bait.

    [Spoken as a former soldier]

    If you have an axe to grind, grind it with US politicians, not the US Army. The US Army acts on the orders of their Commander in Chief, the President. The US Army does not make policy, it merely carries it out. Our soldiers are hard working young men and women who chose to serve their country rather than sit around and drink beer "back on the block" with the rest of their generation.
