..this is the heat of battle and men will do things they would not tell their wives about....

I understand that.

But this did NOT happen 'in the heat of battle.' Quite revealing, the way some war crime apologists on FR are in denial about that.

This was a little fun and games with a dearly departed enemy. Nothing to get steamed about. Boys will be boys.

some war crime apologists

What war crime? There was an accusation of a war crime, followed by a trial, followed (in this particular case) by an acquittal. That's how we do things here in the civilized world.
