That is a very troubling point, I hope your view is wrong... but I'm afraid it might not be.

Why are they shooting dead people over there?
And when will this vicious cycle of corpse desecration end?

 

[fr33]

I am not at all making fun of the killing but apparently the marines have taken up the Milli Vanilli stance on the subject.

Well apparently it was a little boy, but its the same thing.

What's the difference, they are all the same.

Hundreds of Americans were also killed in Afghanistan in 2013 and yet disgraced US media owners gave less coverage to forgotten Afghan war than royal baby. Sort of like they gave more coverage to disgraced dronebag's selfie than over a dozen wedding guests killed by drone attack same week. Probably one of the worst media in the world outside of places like North Korea and Kenya.

The article about the little boy is vague and doesn't go into too much detail other than than they returned fire in low visibility weather. Obviously, it doesn't seem like it was intentional. The fact remains that they were being fired upon and the article didn't say how the child somehow got into their line of fire.

Generally it is probably safe to assume that there are almost no "facts" in news released by ministry of Truth and most are just "reports".. at least while fog is not settled.

Report:

6 American troops killed in Afghanistan helicopter crash
Published December 17, 2013
FoxNews.com

Six Americans have been killed in a helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan, Fox News confirms.
One person on board the aircraft was injured and survived, two U.S. defense officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record.
In Washington, an official originally said the helicopter had experienced engine failure before the crash, but later said that it was unclear whether that was the case.

The service members were part of the International Security Assistance Force.
NATO says there is currently no fighting in the area.

"The cause of the crash is under investigation, however initial reporting indicates there was no enemy activity in the area at the time," a NATO statement said.
