Atrocities are the culture of all wars

Because of the week that's in it many German television stations have shown films on the German invasion of the Soviet Union 70 years ago this week.

Vox TV screened a documentary on the behaviour of soldiers in war. The documentary showed footage of horrendous behaviour of soldiers in wars since WW ll. It gave graphic footage of US soldiers killing innocent children in Afghanistan. The viewers were shown US soldiers laughing and jeering as they opened fire on their victims. Another clip showed soldiers taking fingers from the dead and keeping them as 'souvenirs'.

It costs one million dollars to keep one soldier on the ground in Afghanistan.
