Try telling that to a group of generally poorly educated young men who a few minutes earlier were fighting for their lives. Men who go through the same sort of extreme high pressure day, for weeks on end.

Men who know if they get taken captive by the enemy who hates them with a religious fervour wont be treated according to the Geneva Convention but will be tortured in the most painful way by that same enemy.

Live under those conditions for a few weeks and maybe you will start to understand why they did what they did.

There is an aphorism/adage credited to the Native American that states you should never condemn a man till you have walked a mile (spent a day/week) in his moccasins.

Go through the same things and see how you react before you criticise too hashly.

you seem to be condoning their behaviour when even the American government themselves find the act done by their own soldiers disgusting

Seem to be?

Oh you mean by explaining that life isnt always cut and dried, black or white? And there are often extenuating or mitigating circumstances in incidents like these?

Am neither condemning nor condoning. I think if you read through all my posts in this thread you wont find me supporting what they have done merely explaining why incidents such as these can and do happen.

Sorry for the injection of realism.

i have no problem with someone pissing on a terrorist, dead or alive. i only have a problem with them filming it, because the enemy will use it for propaganda.

South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia have been far worse than anything that's happened in North America.

It's less about condoning and more about understanding I think, sure it's inhumane but that's what war does

if we're trying to understand bad behaviour maybe we should try to understand the terrorists way of thinking too. i bet they werent even terrorists they were just people who were unlawfully killed. wouldnt be surprised as it has been done before by the us troops. what if they were afraid and were just defending themselves and were killed in the process?
