According to his fellow soldiers, Holmes took to carrying the finger with him in a zip-lock bag. "He wanted to keep the finger forever and wanted to dry it out," one of his friends would later report. "He was proud of his finger."

Group think is more prevalent in the military because if you don't follow the group you will die(socially, but in the case of war literally). Imagine you are in the middle of nowhere with people you barely know, but you have a common enemy. One of them says "hey we should take pics of this dead terrorist" then that idea snowballs. Go ahead take your high roads of "I would have stood up and said that was wrong" nice theory, nice ideal; but based on the state of affairs in America...hell even this board, most people aren't dissenters. One persons bad idea leads to a group of peoples bad idea.
