Oh yeah... why shouldn't I be?
with respect to the media... while I am not particularly a big fan of the media's being embeded within line units......... you have to be a total moron to try & pull the stunt they did ... knowing fully well that reporters were standing there taking notes, making their list and checking it twice............ how stupid can you be?
Also... would it have been any less correct or incorrect if the reporters hadn't of been there? If the locals had kicked up a fuss for this insensitive act; they might have decided to throw their support to the Taliban or Osama for our trouble... nice, real nice!
There seems to be a case for the incinerating of the two corpses and the locals relinquished any association with regard to the rites or burial. Therefore if might be conclued that any Vocal Taunting would not incite the locals oneway or the other (other than direct insult to the Koran or Islam).
If the Psyop Team is a recognized and a functional Unit, therefore are they not performing their assigned duties in taking advantage of this opportunity Calling your Enemy Lily Livered, Girly like and Cowards is not insensitive but definitely insulting to a Soldiers Manhood etc. (which is exactly the effect desired). I imagine that if the hiding unit had been U.S Marines, PPCLI, RCR or R 22e R, the taunting enemy had better get out of there damn fast because our lads would have poured out of there like Mad Hornets. Sorry I regress, I'm confusing Soldiers with the Taliban.
The Insensitivity and Defilement fuss, was the results of the Media and a very pro Taliban and anti-American one at that.
Regardless whether from Stupidity, Bad Judgement or plain old Bad Luck, these Fighting men do not deserve to be back stabbed with remarks like "I Hope They Get The Book Thrown at Them", especially from Serving or Ex Servicemen.
