Photos show US soldiers posing with Afghan corpses

Talk about having to much time on your hands.
This is called documented decadence.
The sick part is that others knew and shared these pictures.
And no one turned them in.
Now ask yourself, just exactly how many people are involved in this because it's no longer just the 3.
They shared the experience
And they wonder why the suicide rate for the military has sky rocketed .




Those who have seen the photos say they are grisly: soldiers beside newly killed bodies, decaying corpses and severed fingers.

The dozens of photos, described in interviews and in e-mails and military documents obtained by The Associated Press, were seized by Army investigators and are a crucial part of the case against five soldiers accused of killing three Afghan civilians earlier this year.

Troops allegedly shared the photos by e-mail and thumb drive like electronic trading cards. Now 60 to 70

Morlock's attorney, Michael Waddington, said the photos were not just shared among the defendants or even their platoon. He cited witnesses who told him that many at Forward Operating Base Ramrod in Kandahar Province kept such images, including one photograph of someone holding up a decapitated head blown off in an explosion.

That photo had nothing to do with Morlock, he said. It's not clear whether it's among the photos seized in the case.
