I strongly recommend reading Micheal Yon's take on Haditha.
Actually, I recommed reading his whole website.

Of course, this is a two edged sword. The only possible justification for civilian casualties is that Iraq remains a war zone, something that some sectors of the public have a hard time admitting. Consider these folks. Quote:

Combat stress? BULLSHIT. I was horrified when I read about Haditha. And ashamed. Hell, half the reason I joined the military was because of Bosnia- we're supposed to be the ones STOPPING that kind of shit. In my opinion, it's not just a matter of extremely poor discipline, there's something severely wrong with the unit those marines were in. And the leadership. There is no excuse. Fry 'em. Especially the ones who stood by and did nothing. Combat stress exists. But in my OPINION, there had to have been a truly f*****-up unit-bred mentality in place for that to happen.
