The photo doesn't bother me, murder would, if it were outright. We've killed thousands. Soldiers all through war take photographs and often smile and do dumb things. It's the nature of war, to show yourself a hardened killer. I'm sure some get to where they enjoy it or feel good about it, why others are posing for friends back home.
I never felt good that we charge soldiers with murder, although I understand it. They're placed in such terrible circumstances and some go off the deep end.
