You're absolutely right, from now on we should assume that everyone in an american uniform is a savage who is only there to kill innocent civilians, and maybe kick some puppies while they're at it. A small handful of examples completely overwhelms any evidence to the contrary. And that "guilty until proven innocent" philosophy has worked so well in the past.
Your comment doesn't address my point, which is that many people condemning (and, really, in this case distorting) the actions of american soldiers simultaneously give a free pass to the same level of behavior on the part of anyone who's not an american.
