"i never said you or others didnt have the right to say what you want, but this is wartime and people need to understand that sometimes words can kill."
Words can kill and words DO kill. But it is not only the "silly journalist" who kills in saying careless words it is as well the stupid soldier who presents such videos as shown in the first post of this thread! Even if the situation may made it necessary to drive like they did, it should not be shown in public! Yoou may agree that it seems that they did have some sort of fun chasing these small cars? Ok; one may have fun like this - who would not of all those who are stucked in each mornings traffic jam? But it is a difference, if I represent myself alone or if I wear a uniform! This is something I learnt first when doing military service - the uniform makes me being a part of the country I shall defend and not an individual being any more.
Words can kill. Yes; as well what you stated above about this strange behaviour of some of the officers is not very helpful. I never would say that this is particular for the US-army. Such people are probably found all around the world and they may do more harm to the good work and the efforts of many others than the enemy.
Words have killed; too many lies have been brought up by the politicians about Iraq. The comon soldier has to suffer it and many people lost their live due to this.
