Re: [Marxism] Reuters: U.S. strikes killed 140 villagers: Afghan probe

Something about the way this was phrased was bothersome to me. Highlighting the
number of children seems appropriate, but highlighting the number of adult
males with the word 'only' in front of it suggests their deaths were much less
meaningful, and that by virtue of them being adult males, their status as
civilians is questionable.
