Oh, I agree. They assume a huge amount of risk simply by stepping foot into a war-zone. But, as much as you'd like to make that the issue, it simply isn't. The issue is US soldiers firing on a non-combative building and their officials trying to cover up the subsequent deaths by refusing to cooperate with Spain.

I just want to see credit given where it is due. If it was a mistake, why not own up to it and return Spain's phone calls? Avoiding the situation and making fun of them is asinine and only pushes the situation onto very shady ground.
