I find it very funny and very much in keeping with the sense of humor that is generated by a bunch of grunts on the ground that have been living and fighting together. This is war, it's not pretty, it's not nice, and far from losing your humanity a sense of humor helps you keep it. He should get in trouble for being so stupid as to let this get out since now we get to hear how heartless and terrible this is and OMG what if it's TRUE. I'm sorry but I'm more concerned about the safety of our people fighting than in hurting somebody's feelings over a picture.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
