<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Last night I was in my friend's house for a drinking session with 10 other friends. There were different groups of us scattered around the house and my friend whose house it was (we'll call him Bob) was upstairs. I was sitting around his dining room table with three other friends and beside me was Bob's computer desk. Beside the monitor was a small, brown leather book. I lifted it tentatively making sure that Bob wasn't in the room. I squinted at it and I could make out "Gulf War, 1991" written in faded ink on the front. I opened it up and flicked through the photos. There were pictures of his Step-Dad and his friends in the British army barracks (we're from Scotland) during the Gulf War.

I continued to look through the album and I turned the page after a few merry pictures of Bob's Step-Dad and his fellow soldiers and found a picture of a dead, scorched corpse. I was mortified! I continued on and found more and more pictures of scorched corpses. The worst ones that I saw were the ones with the scorched corpse with half it's brain lying in the sand beside it's head and the one where the man had been blown in half and his torso was on a car bonnet and his legs lay feet away on the ground (excuse the pun). There were even close ups of some of the corpses.

I showed my friends around the table and they reacted the exact same way. I raised the question as to why he would keep them in the same album as the ones with his friends and why would he just leave them lying around the house? I can understand why he took the pictures to a certain extent, but why keep them all together? Just messed me up. It was only last night.
