God I hope this is not true. If it is, I am ashamed to have served in the same military as these people. Kill all the enemy you can, but don’t kill civilians and FOR DAMN SURE don’t have your picture taken next to them.

Sometimes the enemy looks a lot like civilians. Most Afghan insurgents take pains to do that.

You are totally buying into the liberal left media spin.

Not me. But, apparently, some of that "spin" is coming from the U.S. Army, which said it apologized for the distress caused by photographs “depicting actions repugnant to us as human beings and contrary to the standards and values of the United States.”

If the Army said that, then I find the report disturbing, to say the least. It's not what we need.

I have done 4 combat tours; 3 in Iraq and 1 is Shitcanistan. I know how they conceal themselves, but I also know that soldiers sometimes do very stupid things, expecially if one of their own gets wounded. I will admit to double tapping many an insurgent to make sure they were dead, and did not roll over and toss a grenade at us after we walked by.
