The author like many other posters is making the mistake of thinking that some of us put fault on the individual soldiers. In their own shoes I would've done the same thing, with the things hanging on the shoulders I couldn't tell if it was an AK-47 or a camera so I would've opened fire.
What most people is complaining about is the military secrecy and handling of this business, not the "mass murder of civilians" (like some of WL editors try to make it look) but the lack of reaction and respect by the army. If they had released the same video explaining the circumstances instead of hiding the details the situation would be different now.
Short: The blame's on the high command, not on the individual soldiers.
That's probably the same reason why the commanders want to keep it secret. Because most people will just have a jerk reaction and blame the soldiers, which in turn put pressure on the soldiers in the field.
While I think the higher ups are to be blamed for even going to war, it's the people who elected them. So I don't really know who to blame.
