Rules of Engagement

This PBS video looks at the investigation in what happened on November 19th 2006 in Haditha. Marines are accused of going on a rampage killing innocent men, women, and children. It brings in a lot of topics that we have been discussing over the past few weeks. Interestingly, the information in the video wasn't considered news due to the USMC press release on what happened.

    I thought this was interesting as well. It is a quiz that tests what you would do in their situation.

    Thank you for posting this video. An interesting glance into military discretion and the difficulties of military decisions in the "heat of the battle". I can't even imagine being in such a life-threatening situation. How can we to blame the Marines for doing what they were trained to do while finding justice for those noncombatants killed? an interesting look into collateral damage and the rules of war.
