US Army kill team pose with dead Afghan boy

[Tecpatl]

Pictures from today's issue of Der Spiegel showing US soldiers posing with the corpse of one of their victims. They are currently on trial for murder. Guess they liked cute dead boys so much they made their own when they ran out of combatants to shoot. And cuffed them to make them easy targets.

how rotten and cruel,
certainly nothing to be proud of.
karma is a bitch.............

At least they're being tried as murderers instead of it being covered up or ignored.

Great thread Tecpatl.

These guys were true necrophiles, we have dicussed this many times before - most dudes want to become soldiers because they want to kill other dudes, humans love violence and once you see how easy it is to shoot someone and take their corpse photo it becomes and addiction.

Same with policemen.

There are several police forums here in Bulgaria and those dudes just love corpse photos, I read their posts. They joke about the dead guys.

Morgues are the same.

For this to happen, the officers must have looked the other way.

Actually an entire squad was involved, including officers. From today's London Guardian:

Some of the activities of the self-styled "kill team" are already public, with 12 men currently on trial in Seattle for their role in the killing of three civilians.

Five of the soldiers are on trial for pre-meditated murder, after they staged killings to make it look like they were defending themselves from Taliban attacks.

Other charges include the mutilation of corpses, the possession of images of human casualties and drug abuse.

All of the soldiers have denied the charges. They face the death penalty or life in prison if convicted.

The case has already created shock around the world, particularly with the revelations that the men cut "trophies" from the bodies of the people they killed.

An investigation by Der Spiegel has unearthed approximately 4,000 photos and videos taken by the men.

Absolutely appalling, disgusting crime. May the victims of these monsters rest in peace.

I doubt any of those 4,000 will ever be released on the internet, that would indeed cause massive outrage worldwide.

Shame on US Army!

 

[Tecpatl]

The first of the squad has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to 24 years in return for testifying against the rest.
