I do not find this funny. I also am not passing judgement on the Lt.. With what they have to endure over there, I can see how poor tastes in judgement, humor, and general ways of acting don't always pass muster. We, as Americans, expect our soldiers to go over there, clean house, and send us back a message of humanitarian acts, heroism, bravery, and courage. Unless you actually fight in a war, you don't know what goes on and I can bet it sucks! This is no excuse to belittle and disrespect another countries people, especially children, but I do feel it was a bad joke among friends that got out of hand. He should be reprimanded, but not discharged. Make him clean the toilets for a week and set an example of his poor judgement.
