These rumours don’t just form in a vacuum.

You give credibility to rumours… up to where you consider them valid data? It couldn’t be that rumours might start to advance an agenda, right?

Based on what I read above, it sounds to me more like the delusional far right doesn’t support the troops much either.

And that Lancet study has been completely debunked, by the way. It's utter garbage. Our military has caused VERY FEW civilian casualties in Iraq. Conflating terrorist-inflicted civilian casualties with military-inflicted civilian casualties is **completely** dishonest. And yes, people DO in fact make things up on a regular basis. Did you *read* the post? QED. Of course I’m not joking. And that Lancet study has been completely debunked, by the way. It’s utter garbage.

There have been multiple studies done by independent medical journals, and all of them point to extremely high numbers of civilian casualties in Iraq. In addition, the brave men and women who served there do not seem to be the kind who would just make these stories up. These rumours don't just form in a vacuum.
