Bad taste and I won’t say bad judgement, because we don’t know what circumstance led to these videos. Certainly they don’t reflect very well on the individuals judgement, but our government officials have sent our military out to kill people based upon lies and even situations that developed largely by Republican manipulation of foreign countries leaders. The idea of Realpolitic—maybe a case in the short term, but in the long term we would have done better to treat people with honesty and stop double dealing everyone including ourselves.
How are the videos more obscene than a President who says he doesn’t care about what the American People think, because God tells him what to do.
Indeed a President and Vice-President who decides they will start a war based upon lies they fabricated and they will use it as an excuse to violate all the laws they swore to uphold and to cause the deaths of 1000s of American Soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians in their own living rooms and markets? I think if we need outrage it should be against these actions more than the juvenal impulses of officers. Our country has become a malignant farce.

The captain should be courtmarshalled for bad taste and forcing troops to view his idea of humor.
And one wonders why officers are killed by their troops.
