    American soldiers murdered Afghan civilians and took body parts as trophies

    US troops 'kept finger trophies' - mirror.co.uk

    American soldiers murdered Afghan civilians and took body parts as trophies, it was alleged last night.

    Shocking documents show five soldiers have been charged with killing innocent Afghans in January, February and May this year after forming a secret "kill team".

    In charge sheets obtained from the US Army, Staff Sgt Calvin Gibbs, Cpl Jeremy Morlock, Pte First Class Andrew Holmes, Specialist Michael Wagnon and Specialist Adam Winfield are accused of the crimes.

    It is alleged Gibbs kept fingers, legs and teeth - and threatened to kill other soldiers in a row over drug use.

      Well they know not to start making necklaces made of ears and talking in a Swedish accent just in case they get turned in to Universal Soldiers.

        Not a very diplomatic move by said Gurkha, but I guess you have to be pretty dumb to pick a fight with those guys.

            How shocking. Trained killers aren't paragons of virtue...

            At least they've been caught and charged. That's a good thing, isn't it?
