What’s strange to me in this whole affair is how tone deaf the left is. Yes, soldiers — particularly in stressful situations — can do callous things and indulge in black humor. But the episodes STB recounts are the wrong kinds of things. I can see a soldier taking liberties with the skull of a dead combatant, but a child? No way. I could see them mocking an enemy who had been blown up by an IED he was trying to place, but never somebody on our side. Certainly not a woman. The number one risk these guys face is a roadside bomb. The last person they’d mock is someone who’d gotten a piece of one: superstition and decency both forbid it.
