Major scandal alert.
As many as 12 U.S. Army soldiers are being court-martialed for intentionally killing Afghani civilians ("mowing them down"), and faking attacks against themselves. The soldiers detonated grenades nearby in order to look as if they were attacked before killing the civilians.
Then the "kill team" would pose with the dead bodies as if they were trophies of a deer hunt or something. As many as 4,000 pictures and videos related to these murders have been obtained by a German news network (taken by the soldiers themselves).
Sadly this will only further hurt the U.S.'s reputation around the world and possibly could surge the violence.
These wars must end, all 3 of them. Nothing good can come from any continuance of these engagements. Just more lives lost, more money squandered, more dignity lost for our country. Oppose the wars, it is long overdue.
