War is never pretty and this is a perfect example of that.

The paratroopers had their assignment: Check out reports that Afghan police had recovered the mangled remains of an insurgent suicide bomber. Try to get iris scans and fingerprints for identification.
The 82nd Airborne Division soldiers arrived at the police station in Afghanistan’s Zabol province in February 2010. They inspected the body parts. Then the mission turned macabre: The paratroopers posed for photos next to Afghan police, grinning while some held — and others squatted beside — the corpse’s severed legs.
A few months later, the same platoon was dispatched to investigate the remains of three insurgents who Afghan police said had accidentally blown themselves up. After obtaining a few fingerprints, they posed next to the remains, again grinning and mugging for photographs.
Mike, you ignorant douche. Those soldiers are not doing a great job. They are following orders of a dictator. Why do u think the insurgents wants to kill US Soldiers? Because were free? NO! Because we are in their land. Would u like it if they cut off the soldiers head and display on YouTube or something?
Bring the troops home.
I don’t know why some people says those kind of photos are bad, our guys are doing a great job waste those mothers fuckers, and it’s a lot of stress for our troops sometimes they need some kind of recreation. Good job guys keep killing more assholes.
