“This is the enemy. Put a turban on that slant eyed prick and there you go, updated to the 21st century.”

Oh, great. Now we get racism thrown into the mix. But didn’t you read Norm Lenhart’s post? He said our troops should descend to the level of the enemy. So our troops in WWII should have been the same pricks the Japanese soldier in the photo was.

I guess pissing on a corpse and beheading are equal actions in your mind.

The Japanese surrendered 6 DAYS after the bombing of Nagasaki...

On February 1, 1943, Life magazine published a photograph taken by Ralph Morse during the Guadalcanal campaign showing a decapitated Japanese head that US marines had propped up below the gun turret of a tank. Life received letters of protest from people "in disbelief that American soldiers were capable of such brutality toward the enemy." The editors responded that "war is unpleasant, cruel, and inhuman. And it is more dangerous to forget this than to be shocked by reminders." However, the image of the decapitated head generated less than half the amount of protest letters that an image of a mistreated cat in the very same issue received.[10]
