And that it was done during a period of down time as a lark... I bet he spent no more than an hour doing it, and was too busy giggling to think about the repercussions of the gag (something I can totally understand).
If it wasnt for the morbid subject matter and the response it triggered it would have been a truly GREAT gotcha! Makes the militant insurgents look like complete goofs- this gets back to my point in the thread on community, satire can be a powerful weapon!
Whoever did it did create trouble and unneccessary work for the army (probably unintentionally), but he made the terrorists look like retarded children...
Final score: Guy with too much time on his hands and a juvenile sense of humor- 1, Lunatic murdering radicals-0
It shouldnt have been done since I am sure it scared a lot of families here in the states, and it did make the army do a headcount... but it was a prank that in a different context would have been a classic.
