Posting War Photos On Porn Sites — Another Glorious Moment For The U.S.
I’ve seen a few posts/articles the last two days about U.S. soldiers posting gory pictures of dead and mangled Iraqis/Afghanis to an amateur porn website. Note that the censored pictures on AMERICAblog show proud, smiling soldiers…this is deeply disturbing and eerily remenicent of the Abu Ghraib with an added horror of these being more than just pictures of torture and guards gone wild.
If these pictures are the real deal, it opens up a whole new can of worms, so to speak.
It’s easy to understand that war and it’s daily stresses can be waring on a person’s mind, but these people seem to take way too much delight in the murder and mutilation of the people we’re supposedly liberating. And the fact that they are posting them to a porn website is creepy in a sociopathic or psychopathic sort of way. What will these men and women be like when they return to the states? What sort of psychoses will they bring with them? This is one of the things that worries me in the middle of the night.
And when the rest of the world sees our soldiers enjoying themselves so much in the death and destruction of another nation’s people, what do they think of us? These are our representatives in the world. Is this how we want to be seen? Do we want the world to believe that this is the democracy and freedom we’re bringing them? This deteriorating humanity?
This just makes me feel ill. So much for our noble mission.
