what are they, living in Iraq, supposed to be grateful for ? Why are the British or any other troops in Iraq? Why was Iraq invaded in the first place? there are other videos showing what soldiers do in occupied countries. because they are under a lot of stress they do abominable things. Does it help them to release stress, do they feel better afterwards?
in the case of British soldiers they were encouraged to emulate their superiors' behaviour. Still I am not convinced that such deeds should justified. If that behavior is not "that bad" yet, are we giving them permission to act in even a more horrible and disgusting manner?
