Being from balkans, and knowing what SS troops did to my people and rest of Europe, im not surprissed what I saw on that photo from Afghanistan.

Never liked Germans never will.

I am proud of my German ancestry.

Troops from anywhere, in the thick of killing and being shot at, are going to dispense with Sunday School niceties. I remember that when we were being blown up in Lebanon, one of the groups tried kidnapping a Soviet. The Soviets got the terror leader, cut off his penis and sent it back to the group. They never messed with the Soviets again.

I hear soldiers swear and drink, too, and they have been known to go with prostitutes. It's a war they are killing and being killed.

Speaking as a supporter of Serbian Kosovo, and an opponent of Clinton's so-called "Kosova Campaign" of 1999, I am not here to defend German atrocities in the Balkans, or the antics of the German soldiers in Afghanistan. My only point is, that use of enemy remains as war trophies is not a German peculiarity---not in the past, or now.
