Cannibalism is a tactic these people use to instill fear into the population. It can be compared to what the mongols did back when genghis khan and his horde terrorised europe. They used to slaughter entire villages when they conquered them. Or, if you'll allow me to go this far, to what the USA did when it parked a huge number of ships outside Iraq. It's basically saying: "you do not want to mess with me"
It's meanth to scare the enemy into submission. Again - these people are not doing it because they like it, or because it's a part of their culture. They do it because it's a very powerful weapon.
I'm not defending these practices, but do realise that the people who do this are a minorty.
America is the country with the highest amount of serial killers in the world. If I remember correctly, some of those serial killers have commited canibalism as well. They are as representative of the American people as these soldiers are of the average African.
