i don't like that this happened...not sure what they were thinking in doing this and having it filmed.
on the other hand, we have asked our men in uniform to perform actions that are truly unimaginable and have to witness some horrible things that will scar a person forever. you can't necessarily judge a soldiers actions based on how things are in 'the real world'. we ask inhuman things of them, and then expect them to never act inhumanely. tough task.

when the first concentration camp was found by u.s. soldiers, some of the soldiers killed the nazi guards. they really lost it-the things they found and saw were horrifying. were they correct in what they did? no. can i say i would feel comfortably judging them harshly for it? not at all.


'war is cruelty. you cannot refine it.' sherman said that, and he's absolutely correct.
