Trigger warnings are important. A rape survivor may have braced themselves for a textual story on rape, but have been completely unprepared for the images.
Do we have trigger warnings for people who have been through other horrible things in life? That would be a lot of warnings on a lot of posts. Saying the post is NSFW should be enough.

Why would you argue against this reason for a warning in a discussion thread where the primary complaint is "but I'm at work" ?
Apparently in Vietnam there was contempt for local life, massacres like My Lan were almost policy, fueled by the need to present bodycounts. But policy and incentives alone wasn't what caused this - courts martial were ineffective, even if they had plenty of evidence and the military culture encouraged massacres.
I'd have to wonder what part of this remained. Is it possible that drone strikes operators also have bodycount incentives - kill n number of terrorists, get a day off a raise and maybe a promotion.
But more importantly how much of its just "war", the real one, not seen on TV. Maybe the president of the US is right: exposing atrocities and punishing the perpetrators will expose US troops to risk; but in that case isn't the case for war even weaker? How can you claim to prevent crime when you are doing it yourself?
"The release, by CBS News, of the photographs" So why can't I find this at CBS news or any other reputable source?
Edit: Furthermore, where's the skepticism? Why did this so quickly become the top story? Another comment suggests they are from a porn site, and may actually not really be american soldiers committing rape.
Addendum: I really need to find another source for my regular startup news and advice.
And Obama has been awarded the Nobel Piece Prize. What a f'in joke.
