Do any of you even know why this happens?


Troops actively engaged get someone in their Platoon Killed. A rage stars to build with in the platoon. You see they all have been a group for some time and are close. They have been through a life and death battle and have bonded. This rage continues to build until the Feild commander figures they need to be rotated out to a less hostile environment to cool down a bit. Which usually involves gurading prisoners. These prisoners start acting up or just being difficult in general and the rage that has never been dealt with starts to surface. Then crap like this takes place. It does not justify it but it does put it in a perspective that we cannot see on the sofa here in the US. So before you call them war criminals or judge them too harshly maybe a short walk in their shoes is in order.
