    People recorded their wartime experiences before the advent of video games. This iteration is not particularly unique, excepting the level of detail and intimacy of information recorded. Otherwise it is merely consistent with the age in which we live.

    I guess it probably makes you feel better about yourself to stumble through threads like this ensconced in a carefully maintained and cavalier ignorance of something you know demonstrably nothing about, but you should save the scorn for cases where it is warranted. It isn't like they don't exist.

    I don't even want to explore the mindset that not only beats people to death but also considers it necessary to have a permanent record of it.

    Whatever the justification, I am not interested. Perhaps they need to relive their moment of wood.

    My late uncle and grandfather both WW2 vets, never EVER talked about the war in any fond way whatsoever. To them war was a blight on humanity and should be avoided at all cost.

    The accumulation of mementos is sick. Period.

    Same here. I worked with the Indian army and it made them sick to the stomach to talk about the war. The only mementos they had were of friends who had passed on.

    Yeah, and I'm not asking you to. What I said was very simple. Here it is again, using smaller words. If you look at warfare throughout history, you'll see soldiers recording their experiences in whatever form of media was most accessible and convenient for them to use. Today's equivalent of that being a digital video camera and a Youtube account doesn't constitute a paradigm shift from that tradition or any of the other retarded inferences you were attempting to derive.

    Yeah, I recall the Japanese skulls and Vietnamese ears.

    "So what's a war trophy?" you ask. "I risked my life for twelve hot, dirty months in Vietnam; can't I take a little something home to show the folks?"

    Because there is no difference between shooting a video of an airstrike and keeping mutilated body parts of your dead enemies.

    US troops see it all as a fun game. They are out there enjoying themselves "Thats technology!!!!"

    There are people losing family at the other end.

    Thats not something that Americans can apparently comprehend.

    republicans? well sure a lot of them are republicans (the ones that vote that is) but I was speaking of a broader demographic than a political party.

    You do realize that that woman is an arab, ie, the writing on her arm patch.

    And from the writing on the dead guys arm he is a worker of "Cat" whom is a western organization.

    So apparently arabs love to keep dead trophies. ur so full of shit.

    I'm glad there are people like you that at least are endowed with a brain that isn't yet turned to mush like this confirmed jackass that posted this disturbing propaganda. I have seen his reasoning, and he is quite short of the required stature to be called relevant.

    Yeah, I've seen the stuff Sam comes up with, like the phony propaganda portrayed in the photo above. Jerk.
