I agree the conduct is “unbecoming”. I would have preferred the men removed the creature’s head and replaced it with that of a pig, in the spirit of Gen. John Pershing. I would hope their CO instructs them on the proper vivisection of Muslim terrorists with swine parts in the future.
Reprehensible? Maybe. Photoshopped? Definitely.
Where is that top soldier’s other hand?

How come this is not Obama's Abu Ghraib?
Why isn't the media condemning this as playing into the hands of the terrorists, to be used as a recruitment tool, like they did with Bush in Iraq?
I thought Obama called Afghanistan the good war. Why isn't this being placed at his feet the way the MSM blamed Bush for Abu Ghraib?

WTF would this douche bag, or the entire administration for that matter, know of "military standards"?

Lets us not forget “Vlad the Impaler” who struck fear into those that would try to have a confrontation with him.
Ask me if I give a Shi’ite. Maybe the muslim savages would fear and respect us more as barbarians rather than wimps.
this report (with video and image) appears to make it clear the the soldiers holding the body-parts of a suicide-bomber were AFGHAN SOLDIERS.
