I don't get what is so shocking. War is messy.  Always has been. Always will be.

It's not just "war is messy" that is so shocking. It is the amount of innocent deaths which were covered up. The number of Afghans killed with families "paid off". The hitherto unknown extent of Pakistani involvement in the border area. It's a disgraceful record of a costly, never ending war.

Those are messy circumstances. Did you ever think otherwise?
Ever heard the phrase "the devil is in the details"?

People might agree that "war is messy" and might support the war until they find out just exactly what "messy" means.

I'm glad the documents were leaked.  It's well time we got out of Afghanistan completely.

The only treason here is that the government is engaging in largely secret wars, killing innocent civilians, and covering it up. 

If the only way to get a population to support a war is to withhold the vast majority of details, then it's not our war to fight.
