Every time I read shit like this, I still can't fathom how civilian police forces can get away with this sort of shit. A fuck up like that in the military would be career-ending and worse.
How is it the military has to suffer through so much more red tape and bureaucratic bullshit fighting assholes in a shit hole desert on the other side of the globe than the police in our own nation deal with when weapons and combat should be making up a tiny percentage of job?

Please don't look at it this way. It sounds like you want the expectations of the military to be more relaxed like that of a police force, when what should be happening is that we should be holding our police to a higher standard of behavior.

Yeah Non-American life is less important to me than American Loves. Not in a Donald Trunp type of way but nothing is more important than our Soldiers being able to effectively destroy the enemies of our country while minimizing our servicemen's casualties. Period.

That's a really unnecessarily polarized way to look at it.

What are you? Not American or something?
