How does 1 soldier, do so much damage. Reportedly putting a pistol in the mouths of the children, 1 by 1 and blowing their brains out.

I would think, some would run and get away, and that the village would be able to fight back, at least a little bit.

But 15-20 soldiers would be a different story. They could easily take over a village, murder and burn without threat of being taken down.

Amazing BS comes out of our military dis information groups.

Up to 20 US troops behind Kandahar bloodbath
Yes let's blame 20 and take the most we can out of our country and have them prosecuted.

I don't believe anything they say.

The Afghan story as told by RT, the KGB network? It's nice to be critical and to think of one's self, but it's not good to be lazy and cynically dismiss everything that comes from an important source. The American military tells the truth to the American public 95 percent of the time. When it gets it wrong, it's because people aren't perfect and mistakes happen in translation. In these instances, it takes pain to get the corrected version of the truth out. I wouldn't believe it myself if I weren't in the military -- but it's true. Crosscheck what the military tells you with other, reliable sources... you'll be surprised to find they match up damn near every time.

95%? Any fact check for that figure?
