The horrors of war and the evils of men cross so many generations and centuries. Over and over and over. I keep thinking of how U.S. army soldiers cut the breasts off of dead Indian women at the Wounded Knee massacre and tossed them to each other, laughing and playing games of "catch".

I first heard of Morlock and his "team" last year when his trial began. It's just unreal to see these horrors happening again and again and again. Even with his sentencing and the pentagon apologizing for their actions it's not enough. It wasn't the first time...and I wish I could believe it will be the last.
Link to feature on his trial and the Kill Team in a segment by Amy Goodman last September on Democracy, Now:
