A recently released video taken by a soldier in Iraq reveals that the friendly-fire deaths of two soldiers two years ago was covered up. The platoon Sgt. is heard on tape first admitting that the fire came from an American tank, but after talking to his superiors, he instructs his troops to not reveal that information. Military officials answer these accusations by claiming that the soldiers did not have a full understanding of what was happening that day. Warning- you may find these images disturbing.

While the drug war takes a hefty toll on those who are incarcerated stateside for drug-related offenses, it takes an even more gruesome toll for victims of drug cartels south of the border:
Nine men’s heads were found in plastic bags in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero early Sunday. Eight of them were eventually identified as belonging to soldiers, and the ninth was a lawyer.
Residents of Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero, found the heads before dawn, and hours later located the bodies elsewhere, local police said. They also discovered a message containing a reference to the country’s illegal drug trade, a local official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
