#2 Nah. A formal letter of reprimand maintained in the local personnel file for unauthorized pollution of environment without appropriate paperwork. For those not in the know, the LoR is ripped out when the soldier PCSs and generally has no effect upon good troops. Bad troops though have a habit of collecting them like Pokimon cards.

#4 "Tsk, tsk. You have been found to be culturally insensitive to the Barbarian Hordes. No TV for you this week. Next time, either hold your nose or burn the asstard with the camera, too."

#5 The fire should have been put out by the troops pissing on the corpses, then relit and spit on. When have muslims ever NOT mutilated and desecrated corpses? Respect muslims not one iota more than they respect others.

#7 Kabul (AP) - PETA today officially protested the burning of the Taleban bodies. Official spokesman A. Nutball Dogman said, "We are protesting the burning of the bodies, because, unlike humans, buzzards, vultures, and crows do not like their carrion 'extra crispy'. This is dangerous to the digestive tracts of our avian comrades, and it is proper the soldiers should be discliplined."
