DulceDecorum: "Death to ALL mercenaries. The beer is on me."
5thGenDemocrat: "Regular Army here. I wore a uniform and followed Geneva conventions. These swine were MERCENARIES. Paid Hessians. Murderers for hire. John They're worse than Al-Queda. At least Al-Queda is fighting for a cause. I say "too bad, so sad, bye-bye."
cliss: "As long as we continue to stomp on these people and "storm through doorways during a room-by-room search" like the thread says, there is no making amends with them.

cleofus1: "mercenaries. These men are just serial killers with a good retirement plan. They deserve what they get."
