I'm not even going to read the article before admitting that lies happen. The US military is made up primarily of humans, who make mistakes of a human caliber. If they (we) didn't lie to cover up their actions from time to time, I'd be a bit disappointed. That said, I still believe that most military members take most action with an eye towards the greatest good, towards following the orders of their superiors, towards doing The Right Thing. Cases where it can be demonstrated the the military actually lied are relatively few, especially when compared to the number of times that the military has stepped up to the plate with their mistakes.
