<<<During a Court-Martial, lack of training will not be an acceptable excuse for rape, sodomy, or assault and battery...period.>>> In any sizable group of young people, whether on the campus of an elite university, or practically anywhere, you will find people capable of doing detestable things. What holds many of these young thugs back are normally - peer pressure, institutional or organizational values, and a chain of command that is committed to the institutional or oganizational values. Up until now, our military (from a large number perspective) has been exemplary. The problem with increasing partisanship - everything our people do is okay because the other side is evil - the chain of command will have people that don't belong there but is only there because he is a friend of someone on "our" side. Partisanship cuts both ways. The result is the same. There is breakdown in all the things that make up our civilization. Division within our own community is probably worse than anything our enemies can do to us.
