US soldiers trade grisly photos for porn access

Warning... This link has a couple disgusting photos

Are the people that join the military this trashy? Some of this stuff in the article is sickening...

TextOne of the pictures on Wilson's site depicts a woman whose right leg has been torn off by a land mine, and a medical worker is holding the mangled stump up to the camera. The woman's vagina is visible under the hem of her skirt. The caption for this picture reads: "Nice puss -? bad foot."

I don't have ANY faith in Iraq ever becoming a success with losers like these participating in the effort and this will do nothing to ease the tensions.
 
Representive of the cross section of the US and rest of the world.

Supply and demand for a product.
 
But... but... uh, supporting the troops! Um... preserving freedom! and patriotism! *looks around desperately for support*

There's no doubt there are people in this forum this trashy and you never had any faith in the first place. :lips:
 
The photos that came out of the Pacific theatre in WWII were much worse.

This kind of thing happens during every conflict on all sides, though the militaries try to keep a better lid on it these days.
 
That is an odd forum but wth, pron is pron and I'd rather these soldiers be whacking off to pron on a screen than raping Iraqi women.

But... but... uh, another clueless leftwinger thriving on denigrating the military whenever possible.

But you support the troops :roll: Yes, you Libs are good at that...

I'm not a lib/dem/lw'er, and you can't support the troops without supporting Bush and his holy war, it's a loaded proposition. I "support" our troops only insofar as I don't want them to die. It's unfortunate that Bush and his supporters don't agree...
 
Well, at least you're intellectually honest... you realize you can't really "support" the troops in any meaningful sense of the word.

As a general rule, no they are not...however, there are some in the rank and file who do demonstrate a total lack of proper judgement.

Sometimes it has to do with levels of maturity, as many soldiers are quite young, do not have the benefit of a college education, are away from home for the first time, and are contending with the stresses of combat, which effect different people in different ways.

If you look at every American war since the inception of this nation, there are cases of soldiers engaging in such behavior...warfare does have a dehumanizing psychological aspect that tends to skew judgement in terms of what we would normally accept in a civilized society.

It doesn't justify such behavior, especially in today's day and age when such instances can be twisted and utilized as propoganda by the enemy.
 
While horrendous, I can understand that soldier's reply to the photos in the story. Both sides are engaged in war, employing whatever means necessary, including psychological. If one side hangs US contractors in a town and many in the town gawk at the bodies, then it's merely going to upset US soldiers enough to do the same. I'm sure it has upset everyone, including myself, to hear how insurgents have beheaded contractors and soldiers, and then have had the audacity to film it and put it on the internet. I'm sure Al-Jazeera shows Iraqis being killed too and it has the same negative effect on the Arab world.

Does it make it right for any side to degrade dead individuals? No, but it's understandable to a degree. You can't always expect people, abeit soldiers, to be completely immune from letting their emotions get to them in such a tense situation as war.

I'm curious, could you please define "supporting the troops in a meaningful way" for me, as you see it? It seems to me that most who claim to "support" them do so by wanting them to kill innocents and risk death for absolutely no reason. Well, not absolutely no reason, we have Haliburton's profits to think about after all 😉

This just seems like a strange non sequitur.

I for one support the troops - hell, I am technically still a member of the Reserves - and I also supported them when I used to prosecute them and send them to prison. I don't really see how "supporting the troops" requires supporting them in their illegal and/or stupid and service-discrediting activities.

I think some of the things BarneyFife has said in regard to military members are inexcusable, but I sure as hell don't defend these troops' "right" to engage in the kind of stupid behavior that inspired this article.

That's an outright lie, and a dangerous one at that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Since I'm the one who brought up Haliburton, I'll assume this is directed at me. I have two comments:

1) Not supporting the worst president in US history or a holy war he constructed and slid through an unwilling UN does not make one a liberal. I know it's easier to generalize everyone so you have specific & well defined categories of people at whom to direct your hate, but it simply isn't that black & white.

2) I'm baffled at how you think "we" have lost this debate. I asked a question the right can't & won't answer, proving my point, and lost? 😕

Shame requires self reflection and the behavior you find objectionable is invisible to him. The behavior you see is the result of shame denial. Shameful behavior is the result of shame denial because one lacks the capacity to moderate oneself via shame. The concept is a paradox but the ego that says I am guiltless with absolute authority cannot experience shame, and in particular and specifically the shame one was made once to feel. We are safe, we think, as long as we do not feel, because feeling is the door to memory. And it is true more or less for all of us.
 
so I guess the radical leftists are coming out of the closet about their disapproval for our soldiers

thanks for the honesty, guys

And thank you for the strawman. Whatever you do, don't actually read the thread and respond to it with applied logic :roll: The hypocrisy of "supporting" our troops by wanting them to die in Iraq for no fscking reason is astounding.

What are you implying? I certainly don't disapprove of our soldiers, sailors, Airmen, or Marines, but I disapprove of this particular conduct.

I thought RD was a kid . . . Isn't he? If he's a grown man, his position is even tougher to justify.
