A typically brave US soldier

[Mr I]

Real soldiers would not need to do such a disgusting thing. I hope those soldiers are excited by beheading with a dull knife.

The fear of such things is probably what drives some soldiers crazy, young guys go in there to be tough get very frightened, understandably, start acting weird. They need a release and frankly some of them get mentally ill. Easy for us to judge from the comfort and safety of our homes.

This I totally understand...being so consumed by hatred of your enemy that you feel you have the right to desecrate their bodies.

Absolutely. Have also heard stuff like this is done to "toughen"/desensitize. I'm not saying it does anything remotely positive for them, but it would take a certain....*something*...to be able to do that.

They look so young to guys like me, and Bouncer I'm sure, the closest I saw was on that film Platoon, and apocalypse, kinda reminds me of that
