Deaths caused by circumstances outside of normal (normal?) warfare occur in Afghanistan and Iraq frequently.
In March, US Marines in Afghanistan opened fire on a stretch of road crowded by people after a suicide bomber rammed their convoy.
19 Afghans were killed and the authorities acknowledged that the deaths were unjustified.
So their was compensation given to the families of those killed by the Marines - the amount of money, $2,000 (two thousand dollars).
The amount of money in itself speaks volumes to the regard for life. What is the idea?
