I hope you were as outraged when you watched that video of those animals sawing off Nick Berg's head. I find it hard to be appauled by pics of corpses of our enemies after watching the videos of our citizens being burned, and decapitated by those very people.

Honestly....I find both acts unacceptable, but I also understand this is War, and cannot say what "I" would do under these pressures so I am not in a position to judge. I am in a position to be disgusted though.
It's not about lowering standards. Taking pictures of corpses is nothing that disgusting. I would not do it, but why would anybody want to make a big deal about it. As you said, you are not at war, so you cannot understand what these boys are going through over there. I'm sick of liberals tearing down our soldiers for things that are so petty when they're over there getting blown up by psychopaths.

Taking photos of his dead body and displaying it for the world to see like a catch of the month is sick and demeans both the "trophy winner" and the "trophy". (Although I'm sure that the "trophy" can't care TOO much because he/she/it is dead) Dont try and justify behavior you would never condone just because their under stress.

mistermain said:I don't codone it. I do not believe we should publicize this kind of thing, because it only increases the hostility towards our soldiers overseas. What happened here is not what I would do. What happened at Abu Graib was retarded. The way that liberals went after these guys was wrong though. All it does is put our troops at greater risk.

Navy Pride said:It isjust more proof of how the left hates the military in this country even though they constantly tell us how they support it.............They blame the actions of a few bad apples on 130,000 men and women doing and outstanding job.....
It is so sad......
Caine said:Um, I consider myself to be on the left side of things, and I was IN the military, although I just got out after my 4 years are up I don't hate the military at all. So another ignorant assumption on your part. Like you just said, your blaming the actions of a few extremely left people on the many of people on the left who do support the military. So, because I don't agree with the gruesome display of blown up chunks of what WAS an Iraqi (insurgent or not) or just a dead corpse lying in a pool of blood. Does that mean that I hate our military?
Stop making ignorant assumptions and generalizations on the extreme opinions of just a few.
