Many mistakes have been made, but America has done it's best since the first Gulf War at least to go out of our way to avoid collateral damage. Intent has to mean something.

Sure, truth is always the first casualty of war, people lie or look the other way to make themselves look good, especially when money or power is involved. I am not an American Exceptionalist who believes we are naturally virtuous and noble simply because we happen to come from the USA. I just don't believe its as bad as you say it is. We probably are no better or worse than most. But I really have to go on record as not agreeing with you here.

Virtually every incident reported by the DOD, for instance, which has had independent reports has been demonstrated to have been wrong. False. Prevarications. Lies. Bullshit. Nonsense. Feelgood pap for the masses, unrelated to the actual occurences. Like the US female who fought the Iraqis until she ran out of ammunition. She surrendered to an Iraqi lawyer who took her to a hospital and notified the Americans to come pick her us. (After a hellacious firefight, the DOD reported. Fiction.) There are too many to cite, but they all fall into the Tillman mold. The last source regarding the efficacy of US forces is the US government. (Remember that fat US general(Schwarzkopf) during the first Iraq war showing how good American missiles were? Turned out to have been 95% fabrication.) The least credible source is the US government.
