More proof the wars in the Middle East need to come to a close, has surfaced again, in the case of four U.S. soldiers that had mental breakdowns and began murdering Afghanistan civilians, mutilating their corpses and keeping the deceased's fingers as souvenirs. There are similar cases of soldiers having psychotic breaks and raping and murdering civilians in the Middle East. Many soldiers have also committed suicide, due to the horrors of war.

It is time to finish the madness former President, George W. Bush started and end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Millions of civilians have been killed, thousands of allied soldiers have died, Middle Eastern nations have been bombed into the stone age, as their nations lay destroyed, without the basic necessitates, such as running water and electricity

Soldiers 'set out to kill civilians'

September 10, 2010 - FIVE US soldiers deliberately killed Afghan civilians with grenades before photographing the corpses and keeping body parts as trophies, say Pentagon investigators.

A 25-year-old sergeant, Calvin Gibbs, was the alleged ringleader, reportedly joking about how easy it would be to ''toss a grenade at someone and kill them'', US Army charge sheets have revealed.

The five soldiers are charged with murdering three Afghan men and forming a ''kill team''. After blowing up and shooting the Afghans, the soldiers allegedly took photos of the bodies before souveniring fingers, leg bones and a skull, later discovered among the soldiers' possessions.

Army: 12 soldiers killed Afghans, mutiliated corpses

09:58 AM ET - WASHINGTON - Twelve U.S. soldiers face a variety of charges in what military authorities believe was a conspiracy to murder Afghan civilians and cover it up, along with charges they used hashish, mutilated corpses and kept grisly souvenirs.

Five soldiers face murder charges, while seven others are charged with participating in a coverup. All of the men were members of a 2nd Infantry Division brigade operating near Kandahar in southern Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010.
