Soldiers are Soldiers

They wake up every morning thousands of miles away from their family and friends. In a strange world far different from what we are use to. They are targets everyday, marked men and women who think of things like RPG's, IED's, snipers, and ambush. They have to make split second decisions to kill or be killed. The environment they live in is harsh in every since of the word. Physically, Mentally, and emotionally. Then a video pops up on the Internet giving you a brief glimpse of the world they live in and SURPRISE it is appalling to you.

It is appalling to you because we live in a world where we worry about the commute time in to work, deadlines at work, and how long the line is at the local coffee shop. What are we going to for dinner tonight or how are we going to pay the mortgage this month. Of course we wouldn't video tape ourselves urinating on a dead animal, but they live in a different world than we do! If you have never been to war then you have no idea what it is like.

Now there is going to be time and tax payer money waisted to prosecute these soldiers. If you don't want soldiers celebrating being alive then don't send them to war. Unless you have been there don't judge what they do.

Ok, that is how I feel about this subject. I want to know what you think about this as well. Please leave a comment and share your thoughts on this.
