DAMN TIGERS!

In all honesty, there was enemy around it that I did see with my own eyes. It sucks that we're catching flack for this, I feel like this civilian conflict was inevitable; nobody wanted us there and the local propaganda only fueled their hatred. We were fucked from jump.

LT Soto dindu nuffin wrong!!!!

I prefer the perspective that we neutralized a minaret that sheltered enemy fighters engaging us. The civilians should've gotten the hell out of that location if there were people shooting from there homes.
This way makes me feel less guilty anyway.

Nicely Done!! 
They sure as hell didnt say anything about the guy placing that house down on my head huh?!?  Well Hell of course not

Great Work!!! 
 
Obviously a news article would be missing some context, but I'm surprised that someone okay'd a strike on a Mosque. I was under the impression that our ROE prevents engagement of religious structures unless we are taking fire from them.

There was an active sniper in the minaret of the Mosque. So it is within the judgment call area for Taskforce command. Was it within ROE? Probably. Could the sniper have been dealt with in another fashion? Maybe?
All we know for sure is that civilians were killed by US ordinance, and it will more than likely hurt our standing with the populace.
 
Engaging enemy infantry in a mosque, or other religious structures, is not unheard of. I've read accounts of snipers using the advantage of such towers, as they think they won't be engaged, and use it to at least try and pick off troops. However, such a defensive position gives the advantage to the enemy sniper, as it puts the friendly troops in the open if they wish to try and get close enough to clear the tower. That's when airstrikes might be called in to deal with the threat, as they have done so in real life. I see nothing wrong with the airstrike. It saved digital American soldier's lives. Digital civilian casualties are a sad fact of e-war.

Good kill, 2nd Lt Soto.
