BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday called photos of German soldiers in Afghanistan playing with a skull "shocking and disgusting," and Defense Minister Franz Josef Jung said those involved will be dealt with harshly.
One image was published on the cover of the national tabloid Bild, under the words "Schock Fotos."

In the picture, a soldier seems to be slightly smirking as he poses with the skull in his raised right hand. He was just practicing for the lead in "Hamlet."

Soldiers at play.....Nothing to see here Merkle, so move along........
For a society that digs up it's dead and piles all the bones in a "Bone House", the behavior should not be disturbing.

To be fair, I think that these guys should and will be punished. They harm our interests and increase the risk for our soldiers in the region. We know that Muslims love unjust revange, so it´s good not to cause unnecessary anger. The media however should not make up these "scandals" that big so that the last Muzzy learns what happened.

That comment doesn't really tell me anything about Germans ...It does tell me something about the sort of person who would make it, though.

Sad, but every army has its mavericks.
Such is human nature.
