Sitting here, behind my laptop and a bottle of Beck's, it is easy to say how reprehensible the urination act is. That's because my life has an acceptable level of stress and I can think somewhat rationally. I've never been shot at, never saw a friend wounded, killed or worse yet, seen a friend blown to pieces. Never had to endure torture (well, except for 25 years of marriage), never had to shoot at anybody or kill anybody. So yeah, what they did was wrong but who am I to assume that I could even imagine the levels of stress that these soldiers go through. If they acted irrationally, well, they did but anyway I would imagine the horrors of war could do that to you. Hope I didn't offend anyone it's just that a walk in their shoes might shed more light on the matter.
