War isn't pretty. You take young people, teach them to be good at killing, drop them into a shithole, and this is what you get. Multiply that by adding kids who were assholes as civilians -- you really expect they're going to act any better in a warzone?

Doesn't excuse that sort of behavior.

There are thousands upon thousands of soldiers who don't murder civilians, desecrate their bodies and take "funny" pictures of themselves posing with severed heads.

These people are sociopaths that do not belong in any uniform, and most certainly not one that comes with automatic weapons and training that makes them better at killing.
