[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I man wearing a necklace of ears and fingers of the people he slaughtered.  It was during a war.  Not in the US obviously.[/quote]

My grandfather was in the Philippines during WWII.  His sergeant had a thing for mutilating dead Japanese soldiers.  One day, he cut the heads off about a dozen bodies and made a pyramid of them.  My grandfather had a picture of it.  [/quote]

awww that's awful. What happened when your grandfather turned over the photo for his seargeant to be charged with crimes of war?[/quote]

np. Get real. That's not how it works. Be grateful that the sergeant didn't torture the enemy soldiers. His actions are not admirable, but neither are they uncommon. The sergeant was likely no more than 21 years old and had never left his hometown before being drafted. Sometimes we have to put people into horrible environments and terrible situations for the greater good; we should have a little bit of compassion and cut them some wide latitude when they react in unsavory ways. These were kids who knew that some of their fellow soldiers had been executed by the Japanese (as prisoners) by being doused with gasoline and burned alive.[/quote]

Ur right. It's probably totally fine/not illegal/he didn't need mental health help.[/quote]

[b]You know how I can tell you've never spent time around combat vets?[/b]  It's horrible and awful.  But not unusual.   People have such a weird  sterile idea of what war is like.   [/quote]

Wow how wrong you are. From where did you get your credentials? Worked at Walter Reed medical contract for almost 12 yrs. When people brought out our made mention of their "war trophies" we did our best to get them help.

This may not have been addressed in your time but the military has done a lot better by vets recently FYI.[/quote]

Right, so you got them help. Good on you. I would expect that someone with your familiarity of the issue would not be dumb enough to assume that someone who did this 70 years ago on Iwo Jima would be charged with a war crime. [/quote]
