Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

I doubt whether a soldier's propensity for using humour correlates positively with his propensity to rape, murder and torture.

I would refer you to the picture of the grinning American servicewoman giving the thumbs up and pointing at a hooded, naked iraqi. Her amusement at the suffering of this man is a symptom of her dehumanisation. Any humour in this context is deeply sick. I agree that governments are to blame.
