my sister was telling me about some clips that had been on the news from Fallujah. Soldiers shooting insurgents that were lying wounded in the head and leaving others there just waiting to die.

She was pretty moritified but to be totally honest, I was like, and so? Regardless of what you think of the war THEY ARE the enemy and i'd rather have our boys shooting them when they're wounded than the other way round.

Then I got to reading a news article apparently from an iraqi photographer who says soldiers were killing civvies in the street and snipers were picking off people trying to swim across the river to get out of the place.

He was going on about finding bodies in the street and whatnot and I don't know if it's because I smell a hefty dose of bullshit on account of him conveieniently forgetting to take his camera with the incriminating photos and the fact you can't give a dead man a kick and say hey buddy are you a civvy or an insurgent but I felt very little sympathy at all. i mean if it's true, which i really doubt, then it's a really shitty situation for them to be in and it's a bit harsh picking off civvies trying to flee but apart from that, i'm not shocked, moritified, bothered or even moved really.

I'm not saying this to get a rise out of people but I'm genuinely apathetic about the whole situation and was just wondering if anyone else is the same or I'm just really an incompassionate ****er when it comes to people I can't relate to.
