A few samplings: From Col. Jim Miles TXSG Ret.

What in the hell is going on here - since when is it such a big deal when our troops, Marines, piss on a few dead Taliban? These are the same bunch of sorry, goat herdering, AHs who don't wear a uniform, kill and torture their own people, and torture and behead our troops and we're supposed to be shocked and feel sorry because we pissed on the dead SOBs? YGTBSM! We should be cutting off a few heads ourselves while we're at it. Except for keeping a few alive for intell purposes I think we should take any prisoners we capture, line them up against the wall, and shoot the SOBs. They don't want to wear a military uniform with rank and patches that identify them then they should be treated accordingly.

If we had a CinC [Commander in Chief] in the WH [White House' with a pair of balls instead of a dipsh*t, Muslim/Marxist from Kenya we would have turned our troops loose early on to shot, bayonet, behead, bomb, blast with artillery, as many of the SOBs as they could - included going after them in Pakistan, Iran and any other place we could find the bastards. The damn war would have been over years ago. Instead of treating our Marines like criminals we should be passing out medals for killing the enemy.

....The mission of our military is to close with and destroy or capture the enemy - nothing has changed except the sorry AHs (As*sholes) running the country and the military won't let the troops do their jobs anymore. They're more interested in turning the military into a bunch of faggots and lesbians and women who like to act like men and to hell with the mission, good order and discipline. I've lost track of the number of "Kangaroo" courts set up to stab our combat troops in the back -

That's a technique. Since we all know that 'pigs/pork' are something they detest and a major insult and offensive to them.

Do whatever you think is necessary. Put pig's grease on your bullets, dump pig's grease on the dead, chop 'em up and feed them to the local dogs.

But don't put it on the internet. I think the ultimate 'insult' is a 7.62mm round to the forehead. "One shot, one kill".  What a great motto.

From Al Otto:

They should have discretely dumped a pan full of nice greasy pork chops on top of this the enemy and any other downed enemy instead of urinating on him.

These are old guys that mostly served in Vietnam talking this way. You don't have to wonder where the young ones learned this garbage. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

This sounds like fear and ignorance. Do you know what BitTorrent is and how it works? It's not scary.

Imagine a budget-starved teacher needs to hand out notes for class, but can only afford one copy. The document is 10 pages long, and there are 10 students who each need a full set.

The teacher could just give the notes to one student, and ask them to make all the copies, but that would just shift the burden, leaving them to pay for all 100 pages.

Instead, the teacher hands page 1 to student #1, page 2 to student #2, etc. and tells each student to print 10 copies of their one page. At the next lecture, the students distribute them amongst themselves before class, and everyone has a full set. Nobody had to pay for more than 10 pages, i.e. their own set.

In the middle of the term, a new student joins. She could borrow someone else's big pile of notes, and copy the entire stack of paper, but that would mean she would have to pay for it all, and she's on a budget too. Also, imagine she has a really slow printer.

So instead, she just goes around and asks each student to print out a single copy of the pages they were assigned previously. The next week, she collects all the copies, and again has a full set. But now the there are more students, the teacher can now happily hand out 11 pages of notes instead of 10, and the system will still distribute the work load evenly. Or if the teacher doesn't add more pages, then in fact, one student gets a pass every week.

Now imagine that students join and leave the class every single day, and the teacher isn't quite so organized. He just puts his big stack of notes on the desk, and tells everyone they can take any page they want, as long as they promise to immediately make copies for anyone who asks.

That's BitTorrent, pretty much. For any given 'class'--i.e. a file that people are interested in--a cloud of 'students' forms--i.e. the 'peers' in the so called peer-to-peer network. The peers compare notes, see which pieces they are missing, and send a copy to the other person. Eventually, the teacher can leave, taking his original copy with him, and the system will keep working.

It's pretty much the only way you can effectively distribute a massive archive of sensitive data to thousands of people, without incurring massive bills. You can't use free ad-supported services, as the content would get taken down instantly due to its sensitive nature. And you can't host it directly, as that would leave a trail pointing back to you.
