"Whenever they shoot or kill anybody, they call him al Qaeda whether he is or not." // a dozen US soldiers faced charges in their involvement of not only killing innocent Afghan civilians at random for sport, but also collecting the victims finger bones, leg bones, teeth, and skulls as trophies. // General Mattis, who replaced Petreaus as chief of US Central Command, said "Its fun to kill people…it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot [Afghans]." He continued: "Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight. You know, it’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right upfront with you, I like brawling." A bit later he spoke of the "emotional satisfaction you may get from really whacking somebody."' He reportedly even told his troops to "have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
