- Yeah, keep up the prosecution (persecution) of our military boys and girls for silly reasons. Before long, you'll have nobody left, and no one will want to serve. Oh, and We The People won't stand for another draft to fight endless wars for the military industrial complex (or oil), led by slimy politician-weasels.

- I keep saying it. We need to leave. This will get worse. In Vietnam, the soldiers quit taking orders near the end. Our economy has become based on war and wars are great politics. We need to change all this and stop wasting time, money and blood.

- While I do not condone taking pictures like this, but as a Nam Vet, I have seen worse pictures on TV news reports during the Nam War. I would also venture a guess that all of the "nay sayers" never served a day in the military, certainly not in a combat role!

- Why is this a scandal? It's been done in every war by soldiers dealing with the terror of day to day fighting for your life. I know it was done all the time in Viet Nam. Don't say that doesn't make it right but remember we are out there to kill these people. Don't make judgements you know nothing about. Trust me the other side does the same thing and if it helps our warriors to blow off a little steam leave then to it and let them decide what's best for their survival.

- The USA is missing out on a great chance to influence the enemy to quit and go home. These photos should be reporduced and wording something like the following written in - "Go home in peace or else this may happen to you." And then thousands should be dropped on the taliban.

- I agree. Let 'em get a taste of their own medicine. We are human, just like them; we can be barbaric and sadistic too. And we have bigger bombs.

- Does anyone know how Mohammed's teachings seem to forbid suicide, yet fundamentalists thrive on it? (Hadith - Bukhari 2:446: "He who commits suicide by throttling shall keep on throttling himself in the Hell Fire (forever) and he who commits suicide by stabbing himself shall keep on stabbing himself in the Hell-Fire"). Also, Hadith - Bukhari 7:670: "Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever."

- And yet with the exception of yourself, I hear very little condemnation from any muslim leaders as well as their fellow country men and women.

- And to think that we are going to have to share the mall, schools and other public places with these mentally ill people that are coming back from those wars. A lost generation.

- This is what happens when servicemen are subjected to worthless 11+ year wars and multiple tours of combat duty without any sense of or defined mission. Nothing good comes out of it, and it costs lots of heartache, wasted lives and dollars.

- cbsblogger..... I have to agree with you on that one. I am wondering if our soldiers are doing this to get home no matter what.

- I am not a supporter of this war, but i sure do not understand this desire to kill the enemy, but do it with rules. If you feel you have gotten to the point that violence is the answer, why have rules? How can these arrogant politicians send our troops to war, and then stand infront of reporters and cry crocodile tears about the way things turned out. Rules of killing, or the politically correct way to behave when you kill someone, is a ludicrous concept. - I do not think posing with dead guys is very moral, but that is not where the line in the sand should be drawn.

- You have codes of conduct in the view that, in theory, should some of your own side be captured, they'll be afforded the same decent treatment. That said, I somehow doubt if the animals in the Taliban have the capacity to ever act that way. One thing's for certain, those involved haven't bothered to ask the if their fellow combatants mind being turned into bullet magnets. It's not unusual for frontline combatants to indulge in such behaviour, but it sometimes helps to see the bigger picture - if only for the possible welfare of many others - including allies.
