What bothers me is the callousness of the US men heard...but Ive never been in that situation so I don't know the emotion that is involved

Yeah, I saw that Fox piece to and they acted like Wikileaks tried to edit things out. That's what I was talking about.
As for the callousness of the soldiers, it was extremely rough for me to hear. However, I would think if you were in a war that might be the only way to get through it, maybe emotionally remove yourself from your enemy. As you said, we have not been in that situation, so it is hard for us to understand.
