I'm personally far from idea that american soldiers are bloodthirsty slaughterers. They're simply human, who can fear, hate and want to avenge. But if your foe is animal you don't have to be animal too. Where is only way to prevent soldiers from being murderers - order.
Remember legions of Roman empire. They fought with wild tribes but they kept the high culture of war, and their famous discipline brought them victories, not superior "high-tech" weapon.
If US wants to achive some results in Iraq, your generals have to use this ancient experience.
