MILITARY INTELLIGENCE

Video shows US marines thrilled by the kill as shown on CNN. Note the scrolling text at the foot of the screen announcing a Passion Play about the torture and killing of Jesus Christ.

Another proud moment in US military history: Marines execute an Iraqi to the cheers of fellow soldiers

CROWLEY: Wounded, another Iraqi writhes on the ground next to his gun. The Marines kill him -- then cheer.
RIDDLE: Like, man, you guys are dead now, you know. But it was a good feeling.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Fire!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah!
CROWLEY: When the battle is over and you are still standing, the adrenalin rush is huge.
RIDDLE: I mean, afterwards you're like, hell, yeah, that was awesome. Let's do it again.
CROWLEY: Inexplicable to some, but not to generations of veterans
