US soldiers and Iraqi Kids

Trustworthiness is defined as honesty and/or truthfulness and is a moral value considered to be a virtue not only in Islam but also in Christianity. In fact, it is a virtue in every religion. From this it follows that a trustworthy person is someone in whom we can place our trust and can rest assured that the trust will not be betrayed. The person can prove his/her trustworthiness by fulfilling an assigned responsibility, duty or job -- and as an extension of that, to not let down our expectations. The responsibility can be either materialistic, such as delivering a mail package on time, or it can be a non-materialistic such as keeping a promise or keeping an important secret to oneself. For instance, the brutal and war criminal Sadam Hussain was not trustworthy and this is obvious to the whole world and needs no evidence. It is quite enough to know that Sadam killed his own people with biological weapons. Sadly, the new promising American policy was no exception. Some American soldiers were not trustworthy in taking care of Iraqi people and of Iraqi kids in particular. They (some American soldiers; I am not saying all!) proved to be untrustworthy for a couple of reasons.
Some American soldiers proved to be untrustworthy in fulfilling the materialistic responsibility that hinges on their shoulders. In fact, it is more than materialistic; it is a sine qua non for existence. Who can live without water?! Watch the clip below and judge for yourself whether or not those American soldiers fulfilled their assigned responsibility.
Iraqi kids have already been hungry and thirsty and must not be running and begging for water and food. They have already suffered quite enough from Sadam. Sadly, some US soldiers taunt Iraqi kids with water -- where's the justice and freedom? Where is the promising bright future of Iraq and its people? Where are the human right agents?

In fact, some American soldiers failed fulfilling even the non-materialistic trustworthiness and responsibility. Take a look at the clip below.

Honestly, would a good American Christian person teach his kids such a filthy language and the message conveyed?! I leave this open. The conclusion is yours!
