Probably referring to the recent shootings, but I'll prefer to hear norral clarify too.
Sitting in on a outside military semi-expert (one of the areas where I focus heavily) There is a far cry from "soldiers under battlefield stress individually snapping and killing civilians" and "the military intentionally aiming to, without NBC's maximizing civilian deaths"
Lets keep it in relative scale here people.
The US military without NBC's could probably kill over a billion people a year and depopulate the planet in udner a decade even if everyone else declared war on them at the same time.
What the US is doing in afganistan is criminal, but its a far cray from someone actually trying to eliminate the afgani population. Its a war crime to even be there but sitll, lets keep it in perspective. Come talk to me after you have some idea of what a strategic bombing campaign against civilian targets actually does (fallujah would be example you're aiming for the US going overkill) but beyond that. They've been relatively methodical if slow in their murders, much like regional warlords after the collapse of the roman empires capital ocne they began to carve our ethnic enclaves for their own soldiers and their closest friends.
*sips from a cold drink*
We're yet hardly at the stage where the Us military in afganistan start carpetbombing anything that moves, indiscriminately.
Edit: Let me point something out here. The fact that the US immune system called the military is in Afganistan is not a immune system (military) disfunction, it is a brain (electoral) system disfunction.
