Yeah Dana, that's what we should do

The U.S. Government should formally defend the soldiers who peed on enemy combatants to the international community. That should be our formal stance. Please tell me you're not this stupid.

Here's a little tip next time you encounter a controversial issue or behavior from our troops you're not sure which side to take: If it would sound ridiculous as a formal diplomatic stance, it probably is ridiculous.

i hate you, Dana. i hate you for making me cry.

i hate you (and all people like you) for forcing me to contemplate and try and figure out this level of stupidity. it's obsessive because there's no end to it. it just keeps going around and around in my head with no answer. just a question:

how can you not get this? how can you not get this?...

Perhaps if Dana had to look through eyes other than her own she might understand how morbid and disgusting she is being.

Just think if she put herself in the shoes of an Afghan civilian who has had their father, son or brother killed by a soldier from a strange land. And then she sees a video of soldiers doing things like this to further disrespect this person's people and country.

Then maybe just maybe she might feel remorse and out rage for the what has occurred.
