The footage on the news today didn't really shock me at all...I'm sure much worse acts have been committed by soldiers on both sides in this war and every war that has ever been. The fact that the media have decided to leak these pictures and make this young soldier look like an exception to the rule is baffling to me. I recently watched the Michael Moore film 'Fahrenheit 9-11' which has some rather shocking footage of civilian casualties and warped 19 year old American kids who have been sent over to Iraq with nothing but killing on their minds...war is ****ed up, killing the enemy is part and parcel of it all.
