The enemy has no problem burning, decapitating and killing innocent civilians and US military members. If this is a form of psychological warfare, I see no problem with it.. When dealing with suicidial maniacs all is fair, IMHO>

But we aren't like them, or at least we shouldn't be. 🙁
 
When in a war, you can be either like the loser or the winner. Let the enemy choose the methodology and then beat them with their tools.

The point is to americanize the country, not adapt to it's culture.

We don't have to know about Muslims. They brought the war to us. All we have to do is kill enough to win.

They were dead already, see no problem with the bodies being burned by the soldiers, or bombs.

Good point. Don't funeral homes charge for that in the States?

Yeah, this is just conserving costs though.

Roman's did a good job of it, so did the English empire. Though, as they started this war, and as they hate the country, save when they are allowed to enjoy its wealth, I cannot feel bad for them, and actually would think they would relish the fact that they might become as wealthy as the americans they envy so much.

Not like they were going to come down to face off against the soldiers, but you have to accept the fact that in war, sometimes you have to stoop down to the level of your opponent. They are simply speaking to them in a language they can understand- Aggression.
 
Let me guess, this is all George Bush's fault?

I for the life of me cant figure out why the army continues to be so stupid as to allow embedded reporters anymore. All they do is get in the way and then film acts of war that are brutal and question the very troops they are embedded with.

The taliban were dead, if true who cares? I mean really, this is a war, agitating the enemy is the point.

Humiliating the enemy, whoopie do. They got one thing right, the talban are cowards and pussies for not coming out to fight in the open field.

 
The thinking that kept support up for the military in the past has always been a feeling of moral supremecy. A feeling that has diminished by raw savagery shown by the US forces. Yes it's war and sh*t happens, but for the most part we treated prisoners with dignity and respect. The German POWs that spent their imprisonment here in the US had decent living quarters, good meals, and were generally well treated. Now we don't know what happens to our POWs, there are only rumors and some evidence coming out that we now torture, deny basics, and just generally treat them badly. Our percieved moral supremecy is now gone.

I can assure you there were plenty of cases of stuff worse than this committed through WWII on the allied side. The difference is we didnt have a lot of embedded reporters and the ones who were had their stories censored.

Moral supremacy is like communism, a sweet theory but in war rarely ever holds up.

War is a nasty business and most people get this idea everything runs completely smooth and nobody ever gets hurt and human tragedy never happens. Burning dead taliban soldiers to get their pussy comrades to come out and fight like men sounds horrible and it is. But the point is to get them to come out of their hiding place so we can exterminate them.

I can care less if the taliban is humiliated. If they are that humliated quit being asshats and give up.

 
this is not about pissing of the enemy, the point of the story is that they are offending islam as a whole
 
So you are saying thst since this is war and the US i shaving a hard time flushing militants that they should be allowed to desicrate people. Hmm.

I think it is rediculous that the American soldiers are humiliating these men when the US army invaded the country with no solid reason and have killed many civilians doing so.

That is no excuse for this sort of action. The us is supposed to be the better ones here!!

Like I have mentioned before, are we going to conduct the war to win? Or are we going to conduct the war to fit into a PC mold where we cant hurt dead bodies because of silly religious beliefs?
