matthis chiroux: urination video "synonymous with our experiences within a military at war"
Matthis Chiroux, veteran and war resister, on the "urination video" and similar war porn:

To others, such as myself and the majority of veterans I associate with, the barbarity of these images is synonymous with our experiences within a military at war. No crime our brothers and sisters commit really surprises us anymore, but confirms to us our nation’s brutal history, of which for a time we became a part, and offers us a reminder that nothing’s really changed.
