I think a lot of rap/hip-hop is disturbing and wrong-headed, but what relevance does rap have to this video?

So a bunch of big tough guys laughing uproariously about a little girl getting her head blown off in front of her family doesn't bother you? Or the fact that someone would video the performance, given that almost anything recorded can end up for the world to see on the web?

These guys are, in my opinion, very anti-American. I hope this is an extreme anomaly, but somehow I doubt it. The US forces have been in Iraq for a long time, under difficult conditions, facing an enemy that is often hard to sort out from the general population. Hardly surprising that they have feelings of anger and need to blow off steam, but when things get to this point, their humanity is threatened. Doesn't do much for the image of Americans, either... and before you say "who cares what the rest of the world thinks", think again - politically, economically, socially, it matters to both the US and the ROW what the US image is.
