[Born in a Rage]

One talking head made a great point...he said that if we say it's okay to burn the bodies, then the next thing will be chopping up body parts and etc. Even though the soldiers may have had their reasons for burning the bodies, we don't want to condone it and say it's okay and soldiers can burn as many bodies as they want to - when they want to.

Another talking head I heard mentioned how Americans felt when our soldiers bodies were burned in Somalia. He made a good point with his comparison. Also, dead bodies themselves don't spread disease unless they died from some sort of plauge...

Run a Google on cholora.

Problems such as these didn't happen when we used napalm.

Dead bodies are easy breeding grounds for diseases carried by rats and other vermin. They DO spread diseases. Read about the Black plague and other disease based disasters.

Who are you kidding?

You call that a good point of comparison? It's not even close. Our guys are not burning those bodies out of disrespect. It IS about hygeine. Do you know what happened in Somalia?

I'm not trying to be unkind, but you might try listening to someone else. Maybe even a soldier who's been there.
