That's disgusting what those individuals did. I'm not surprised at all, though. I can't even tell you how many times I've talked to soldiers who'd just gotten home and was so disappointed in the way they talk about war and death. I've met several guys and girls that just laugh about seeing people dismembered, and, even a guy that had a picture of himself standing clapping two dismembered arms together. Yeah, they're American soldiers, but, a lot of them are just young people, doing what a lot of young people do......being immature and ignorant.

Sometimes gallows humor is a way we have to deal with stuff like that. The day my dad died I went to the funeral home with my brothers.....We laughed thru most of the details.

When I apologized to the director she laughed and told us that it was O.K. most families came in and fought rather viciously during the process.

Eventually, you will sit down and say to yourself, "what was I thinking???"

I think we all would be stunned having to go thru what our soldiers have.
