How can a 21-year old US soldier shoot down an unarmed boy from a distance of 15 feet and then cut off one of the dead boy's fingers to keep it as a souvenir? It is beyond ones imagination but it has actually happened. The soldier Private Andrew Holmes is from Boise, Idaho and he has confessed to the crimes in a military court.
