And your point is... that some US soldiers were photographed on a seesaw with kids, therefore the atrocities and sexual abuse we witnessed other American soldiers engaged in is irrelevant?
I hardly think it's a joking matter.
When I saw the first wave of Abu Ghraib pictures, I didn't leave my house for three days. I stayed home from work freaking out, crying, and vomiting. I wanted to take my family and leave the country immediately.
Over a year later, more AG photos were released; even worse ones that involved prisoners being anally raped with objects, and others (including a man who appeared to be in his seventies) beaten apparently to death.
But by that time, I no longer experienced the extreme visceral reaction that I had to the first wave of pictures. I just looked at them, and felt sad. I had become hardened, as we all have by now, to the atrocities that members of our military are committing upon an innocent populace (and YES, they are innocent. The majority of the prisoners identified in the AG photos have since been released without charges. In fact, they were never charged with any crime).
So, yeah... cute picture.
I guess it proves that not all US soldiers are monsters, and some like to horse around on playground equipment. I guess we probably knew that already, though; I doubt anybody on this forum or anywhere in America doesn't have a friend or relative in Iraq or Afghanistan by now.
I wish you could've just posted the picture without the smart-arsed jibe about "atrocities", though. It probably would've been better received.
