#1 Hard not to find a skull in war.

#2 So ya think the souldiers are tripping over them?

Nope, it is pretty hard to find a skull during a war.

Except for overachievers like Pol Pot. He did not find them fast enough, so he decided on mass production.

#3 This is what happens when soldiers get bored. If German pols want to avoid incidents like this, the best preventive measure is to send them to war. Near the border with Pakistan, instead of camping out near Kabul.

#9 From a Chancellor in whose own country in numerous churches are displayed the remains of the local 'saint' or martyr. If displaying human remains is so 'ickky' why not start at home and cut the tourist death cult tours out. Definitely a ‘one set of rules for you and a separate set of rules for us’ moment.

#10 Davids Medienkritik has a naughty picture at the end of this post. Technically NSFW, but it's blurry so you sort of have to squint.

#11 Why did Germany even start reporting on this incident? Nobody fucking cares what our soldiers do for recreation in Afghanistan. Who is gaining from this "scandal"? Only a few Nestbeschmutzer and the Kameradenschwein who leaked the photos in the first place! This could have easily been covered up. It only helps fuelling the muslim extremists' recruting factories...

#12 I think Medienkritik mentioned this actually happened in 2003, on Schroeder/Fischer's watch. The real question is why this is coming out now.
