"In short, people who glorify soldiers who purposefully assassinate women and small children are as misguided as those who glorify the blowing up of crowded buses, trains and marketplaces."

BTW Ms. Heard, I am well aware of this little bias writer's trick. What you try to do is comparative relations between two subjects in the perception of equalizing them. What makes this bias is the way you personalize what our Marines allegedly did to "women and small children" but materialize what the terrorist do to "buses, trains and marketplaces" while trying further to hide your bias by using the word "crowded". Crowded with what? Sheep? Goats? Donkeys? I'll tell you even though you know but won't say, women and small children!
