Pity to the puppet

This debate has been going on for days and neither side can show any concrete evidence about the identities of people killed during the airstrike, or can they and dare they? I am not surprised if these people were indeed innocent children. On the other hand, I feel pity toward the frustration on the Afgan side. They are on the ground after all, go take pictures of broken bodies and limbs after the airstrike, instead of arguing with people that use satelite images to examine the dead bodies. I bet the military can’t tell the difference between a 14-year old body from a 18-year old one, unless they can look over the “baby teeth” like some knucklehead accusing some Olympic athelets. So I am curious about what’s being held back, one possible explanation is that the puppet does need manipulation (manhandling) because it can’t do things on its own.
