These pics truly do disgust me. I'm not sure if they surprise me or not. War can bring out strange reactions in those participating in the fighting. I just think back to the movie Platoon and, even though it's a movie, you get some green kid like Charlie Sheen's character who's never done anything wrong in his life. But the messed up wartime mentality that kicks in corrupted the hell out of him. Extreme conditions evoke extreme reactions.

These troops do need to be dealt with harshly. So many people over there hate us already. We don't need more incidents like this to evoke more anti-U.S. mentality.
