Then ya see a picture of young kids clearly overjoyed, hands raised in the air, jumping up and down next to a destroyed Geländerwagen where a soldier lost his life.
Of course the only reasonable solution is to bomb them to smithereens. Oh wait, I got "reasonable" mixed up with "emotional".
From the vets I've talked to here, they don't shoot at the kids (who are the same ones that kept running after them asking for candy the day before). They'll take it out on anyone deemed hostile.
