Because, you know, shooting at highly organized heavily armed groups of Known Killers is never the action of somebody with courage.
The Ministry of Defence propagandist disguised as a BBC writer also made clear that the invaders killing civilians, especially children, in no way equals the horrendous the crimes of “terrorist” brigands who resist the Noble Rule of the New World Imperial Order and actually shoot back….

“it is ridiculous to suggest that we are engaged in suicide attacks or are deliberately killing civilians.

“Insurgents and those who are against the coalition mission in Afghanistan routinely make false and exaggerated claims and so care must be taken not to accept their accounts at face value.”

Like the video evidence their coalition Partners are trying to suppress of the MURDER of 120 civilians, mostly children, in Granai, by those same Coalition Partners. Some exaggeration can only be expected from Imperialist Terrorists like the Defence Ministry and their Coalition Partners in the U.S. Military.

It’s also worthy of note that the two Officers (misidentified as “soldiers” in the report…) were from Britain and Northern Ireland (but with a distinctively English name) respectively, and the sole Native soldier, Cpl Arjun Purja Pun, actually from Nepal, all of them members of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, fighting under the banner of the British EMPIRE but allegedly, fighting for the “freedom” of the Afghan peoples to bow down and lick the boots of the Invad errr… “liberators”.

The Defence Ministry will of course LIE THROUGH their teeth at any opportunity, because they’re fighting a Murderous War of Conquest for such noble entities as British Petroleum, Exxon Mobil, and Halliburton. Wonderful fellows and their (Imperial) tradition of using the Gurkhas as paid assassins is still being upheld.
