re: #461 WindUpBird

I’ve never shed tears, nor lost sleep over the deaths themselves. I understand that they’re mercs, that they’re doing the security bit for what they see as easy cash. But they’re still human, and desecrating their corpses like that was just utterly sickening. Looking at it and uttering “Screw Them” is, to me personally, no different than the dipshits on the Right who got a good deal of glee out of the Abu Ghraib pictures, who have no problem with torture or rendition of POWs in this war because they’re all “terrorists,” even the guys who have since been cut loose. It’s that dehumanization, whether it be of mercs or POWs, that makes me sick to my stomach.
