After watching video, I could see how mistakes were made. However, joking about popping dead bodies under the tires, and the cold comments about bringing your children to a battle really make these guys looks like sickos. Its like the US military trains these guys to view these people as animals or some sort of lower form of life.
As much as I disagree with the whole Middle Eastern way of life and politics, I would be very curious how the US would handle a similar occupation should a military super power invade their country and way of life. I for one can assure you I would be out in the streets fighting an occupation / invasion force should Canada be in thwe same position one day. Yes war was waged on 9/11, but an entire nation of people with what we view as backwards beliefs, is paying for the actions of a small, extreme bunch of religious zealots.
I suppose we will find out sometime in the next 50 years when China finally decides to take over the world how the US handles an occupation.... book it.

I don't think I could handle a job that required me to kill people unless I viewed them as such. Viewing someone you are tasked with killing as no different than yourself would likely paralyze my ability to actual carry out the job.
