Terrible decision ... the Taliban are not soldiers; they are murderers, criminals. These are the guys who kill innocent civilians ... women, children, the elderly. Wasn't it the Taliban who shot a young girl in the head 'cause she wanted to go to school. We had something similar over here. Capt. Robert Semrau was dismissed from the Canadian Army ... which was bad enough in the opinion of most Canadians ... but there was no jail time.
