The difference is I blame the people who sent our soldiers there, not our soldiers.
They did what they were supposed to do when they identified "people with weapons". The fact that it turns out they were wrong doesn't change that.
What this video does drive home is that when you send soldiers off to war, you get war. In all it's nastiness.
Pinning this on the soldiers means absolving those that sent them to war - it's just this random soldier's fault, not the neocon's fault. "If only they'd been more careful, the war would be OK". It's the same thing that happened with Abu Graib. The blame was pinned on the soldiers instead of the White House.
