A rare and disturbing picture, so much about this is still a mystery. We don’t know what became of the skull—or, indeed, what became of the young woman herself, or the man who sent it to her …
Probably not intentionally. Looking at this and saying some variation of “war is hell” or “war is pretty fucked up” as you said is extremely handwavey. War being hell doesn’t mean we can’t focus on individual war crimes, particularly those done by the US.
Theres a lot of people who reflexively throw up there hands and say “War is Hell” (they’re swarming here) when you bring up a US war crime. But if you bring up sonething done by a designated enemy of the US people don’t do that.
Oh yeah. I considered mentioning 9/11…. Of 1973. But suspect most people don’t know the us supported an attack on a foreign country surreptitiously. And abu ghraib, but wasn’t sure how it’s spelled.
This country is militarily fucked up, as are the cops.
Not really sure what you mean here. Is that what I’m doing in your estimation?

Its may not be intentional but its still not good
It does add needed context though. These arent peacetime actions of civilians. These are the actions of people forced into melting pot of slaughter.
Its a war crime
