Tactical Reconsideration?

The Afghan government is greatly displeased by an accidental bombing last week that left seventeen civilians dead.

Keep in mind, folks, that this incident was in the same province in Afghanistan that has taken the lives of eighteen American military personnel, including at least ten Navy SEALs by current tally, in the last week. This includes two SEAL operators who were likely killed by Taliban/al Qaeda forces, one SEAL who was injured and rescued, another SEAL that's still missing, and a Chinook helicopter that was shot down by RPG fire, killing eight soldiers and eight SEAL team members.

I can understand the statement from the Afghan government, and I don't disagree with it; I just want to make sure that you, the valued reader, keep the situation in proper perspective.
