U.S. soldiers face action over Afghan body burnings

God forbid we offend Muslim sensibilities.

(CNN) -- Two U.S. soldiers based in Afghanistan will face non-judicial disciplinary action in connection with the burning of the bodies of "two Islamic militants," according to a U.S. Central Command official.

Lt. Col. Laurent Fox said on Saturday that two other soldiers working in "psychological operations" will face similar punishment for making unauthorized broadcasts.

In the incident, which occurred last month, two soldiers burned the bodies and two soldiers broadcast a propaganda message taunting Taliban fighters.

A Saturday press conference in Afghanistan disclosed the military reaction to the incident.

The military says the soldiers burned the bodies for hygienic reasons and the broadcasting was unauthorized.

But the burnings are being regarded as a form of desecration because the Muslim faith forbids the burning of bodies. Afghanistan is a Muslim country.

Unless, of course, they are kafir bodies.
