War is a horrible thing. I've known a couple of guys who went and came back with stories about some soldiers not being able to handle it in a proper way. They can become numb to what's going on, and as a result start doing barbaric things that they would not even think about doing in a more civilized situation. It's not an excuse for any atrocity that has been committed by any soldier of any country. But it does go to show that we need to have a better support system over there to help soldiers cope with the situations they find themselves. We need to realize how the terrible happenings of a war can possibly affect someone who might be the most caring person in the world in his/her normal life and do something to correct it before more animals and people suffer.

Just like all the suicides that are going on, things like this prove that war can really mess you up and this nation needs to step up to the plate and get these guys the help they need.
