...and it looks more like a demonstration of dominance by a conquering country.

The same type of display was seen when our flag draped over the head of the statue of Saddam.

I don't blame the troops for wanting to celebrate victory or the fact they're still alive, but who ever organized that photo opp should have been aware of the symbolism. How 'bout a little discretion?

It may not matter to some, but the world is watching.
