They have little choice in a great many matters, which often includes when and where they sleep and eat, and under what conditions. I have to assume that the dead Taliban were hostiles in some way, which means that quite possibly, they'd been trying to kill those Marines, or some of their comrades. There may not be enough discipline when it comes to how they treat bodies after they've killed them, but under the circumstances I'm not the least surprised that this has happened.<br /><br />That's especially true when it seems like most of us only pay attention to what's going on in Afghanistan when something like this happens.<br /><br />This is something I hadn't realized about WP.

My problem with this whole thing is the arrogance. If they can't respect the fact that the person was a (now harmless) human being, and if they can't imagine some family member may want to see their loved ones for one last time, they should not be sent to "defend" our interests. Also what kind of person does this? Someone with too much power and not enough self-discipline. <br /><br />Great post, wish you were on WP so I could add your blog.Ameliehttp://inthebarberry.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
