Dear Hoosier, Most of us with a modicum of intelligence realise that this does not represent the majority of the American people.  The problem is this .... if I came around to your house every day for say a month, played great music, wowed you with incredible movies and made you laugh until you cried, then one day I came around and blew up your house, defiled your Auntie's still smoldering corpse whilst my mates took photos and laughed.... which day would you remember? How would your family remember me for generations? // I really am starting to think that they are drugging these soldiers/marines - it would not be the first time in military history. There are those who say that a more apt name for the Blitzkrieg would be 'Speedkrieg' - the Japanese had just invented speed before WWII and this was given to soldiers - for obvious reasons. // America's reputation is ruined for centuries if not forever by the actions of these out-of-control monsters. // Also there is to consider that horrible actions have always been a part of post killing scenes in war times, there wasn't always a host of people with cameras in their pockets to record it. // So - I think it is high time we realised that monsters and angels exist in EVERY culture, in fact monster/angels exist in every war. If you were to read the letters sent home by SS Officers who were operating concentration camps you would be aghast at how they were sweet fathers and husbands in the hours they had no killing to perform. // We need to come together as a species, we have the technology, unfortunately one only has to read some of the hateful insulting remarks on You Tube in place of meaningful discussions, to realise that we are still a very long way from evolving into the beautiful creatures we are capable of being. // I have a dream that we will all love one another one day, but I don't think I will live to see it.

There is no excuse for this sickening  disgusting and debasing behaviour by the US soldiers.My only guess is that they are taking so many drugs and pills that  over and above the stress and strain of being in a combat situation ,these men are in  a permanent  drug induced altered state of mind which makes them  unpredictable and exremely dangerous individuals. These men are  medically and probably mentally ill  and  need to be taken out of the  situation  by their superiors and monitored closely  for several months by medical ( psychiatric) specialists,The US regime and its .military is a disgrace.

As if the rest of the world didn't dislike us enough already. The majority of the people in this country are good, decent people who do not agree with the way our politicians and military leaders police the world. 
Befo re you judge us as a whole, maybe try to really get to know some of the people here.

God bless the American soldiers in Afghanistan. This message of good cheer came from an unexpected corner: Russia’s President-elect Vladimir Putin, addressing the Duma. First, he set the deputies up by denouncing NATO as “a relic of the Cold War.” Applause, applause. Then he quickly added that sometimes, NATO plays a “stabilizing role in world affair, such as in Afghanistan.” “We do not want our soldiers to fight on the Tajik-Afghan border, right?” He continued. “It’s in our national interests to help maintain stability in Afghanistan. Well, NATO and the Western community are present there. God bless them!.” For years, Putin has fanned anti-NATO sentiment. As recently as two months ago, he was using it to rally voters around his candidacy for president. For Russian politicians, hammering on and on about NATO is safer than to talk of the threat that dares not speak its name: the 3 million active duty and reservists of China’s People’s Liberation Army. As American taxpayers say “Time’s Up” on our Afghanistan decade, the Kremlin realizes that it had the best of both worlds: American troops containing a radical Islamic threat to Central Asia – and the luxury of complaining about it. Russia’s foreign minister and the nation’s top drug enforcement officer are threatening to sue NATO, or the U.S. government, for not fulfilling U.N. Security Council resolutions mandating the NATO-led Internat. Putin’s NATO comments are directed at a different audience, the Russian people. Last month, Kremlin officials started floating trial balloons that an underused airport in Ulyanovsk would be used as a cargo hub to move NATO supplies in and out of Afghanistan. Maybe it is time for the Kremlin to talk straight. From Cold War levels, 95 percent of American battle tanks in Western Europe have gone home. Only 2 percent of Americans now see Russia as the primary military enemy. If you take away the assets, if you take away the intent, all you have left is the hysteria.

I may have been born in the Useless States of America but God how I hate the USA. I have realized what a prostitute the Useless States is when I was 12 and was asked in a class assignment to write an essay entitled "America Why I love you!" Instead I wrote "America why I hate you". Needless to say I got in so much trouble, but I held to what I wrote. Even as a child I could see what trash and bullcrap this cuntry is, and you melnickrj are confirmation that a 12 year old boy's gut feeling was right. Russia PLEASE declare war on America. There are many of us here who will support you if you invade. President Putin PLEASE stand up the Useless States before they defile everyone else.

American military personel and politicians are sick in the head. The only thing they understand is the language of threats,&nbs p;killing, rape, abuse, looting, death and destruction. They are evil luciferians who have no respect for life or humanity. May God curse and punish these Satanic crusaders and expel them from all Muslim lands.

Grace (unregistered) #4....'WW1/2 servicemen must be horrified at their lack of dignity'.  Really? Incidents such as these occur in all wars, that's why war is such a loathesome business. You may recall that the US didn't behave with much 'dignity' in Viet-nam. My Lai and the 'Tiger Force' bear testimony to that.

@Bianca: You're very right and make some valid points..The names Al Qaeda and Suicide Bombers are for the consumption of the uninformed scared American public to justify the savage and inhumane behaviour of US troops. There are more suicides in the US military and drug related deaths than combat casualties, maybe those are the ones with a conscience that were witness to all the horrors perpetrated by their fellow soldiers, I don't know. In the meantime the American/Zionist corporate media keeps distracting the populace with idiotic entertainment or political debates over the rights of contraceptions and abortion and other social issues..Even in ball games there are jets flying overhead and game breaks for the singing of "God bless America" while civil liberties are lost and we head for total Facism...my question is why do you foreigners support the USA by eating their poisonous food like MacDonalds, Pizza Hut and Coke...etc.,I was in Moscow in 2009 and was surprised with all the American junk fast foods sold...don't like what America is doing around the world at least don't eat their poisonous food.The rich Russians sure idolize evrything American,,Jews? f red...oregon usa

Such unspeakable acts are not uncommon during wars when things that should not happen would happen. Powerful invaders would always do what they like. One cannot be so naive as to believe they care what the rest of the world think?
