I knew what he said would rouse the pulpit pounders . But what he said is just like something the leg infantry, rangers or UK soldiers I'd been around would say . I don't think any of them were very keen on killing "skinnies" or "ragheads" as they called them, either, unless they were enemy soldiers . And yes some of the things they are proud of doing would horrify most normalized folk . ie. drinking beer from human skulls, playing soccer with a head, bringing back trophy pics of themselves with MRE spoons and dead, or berets with bullet holes in them to be placed in the battalion trophy case . To give you a little insight into that community, Alpa company 2/75 called themselves the War Pigs. The would get a pigs head from a butcher shop and nail it over the orderly room entrance, after a few weeks when it got too rotten, they would replace it. It's irrational behavior IMO and I think some of it is bravado and tradition . Again I'm not trying to justify it, that's just the way it is, but you can keep on flaming me if you want .
