Azhar Ahmed, 19, is said to have posted the comments on his profile page and has been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said Ahmed, of Fir Avenue, Ravensthorpe, was criticising the level of attention the British soldiers who died in a bomb blast received compared to Afghan civilians who have died in the war.
The spokesman said: "He didn't make his point very well and that is why he has landed himself in bother."
Ahmed will appear at Dewsbury Magistrates Court on March 20.
He was arrested on Friday and charged over the weekend.
He has been bailed to an address outside the county.
The soldiers died when their Warrior vehicle was blown up
The soldiers were killed on March 6 in the deadliest single attack on British forces in Afghanistan since 2001.
Five of the men were aged between 19 and 21 and died when their Warrior armoured vehicle was blown up by a massive improvised explosive device (IED).
Sergeant Nigel Coupe, 33, of 1st Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment was killed alongside Corporal Jake Hartley, 20, Private Anthony Frampton, 20,
Private Christopher Kershaw, 19, Private Daniel Wade, 20, and Private Daniel Wilford, 21, all of 3rd Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment.
The deaths take the number of UK troops who have died since the Afghanistan campaign began in 2001 to 404.
The spokesman said: "He didn't make his point very well and that is why he has landed himself in bother."
So the police were aware that it was probably just bad wording and not intentional but still felt the need to arrest him!
