Our military trains our people to kill without prejudice and without remorse. Then our government places these young trained killers in an environment where they often can't differentiate between enemy or civilian. Most of these young people don't have the luxury of Monday morning quarterbacking their decisions. They have seen death and all of the other horrors that come with war and they are scared to death. Most of them just want to know how many enemy Iraqi's they need to kill before they come home. Most of these young people don't keep up with politics. Most come from poor backgrounds and all they want to do is to survive. In the face of death, if all they have done is have a dog nip at someone's balls, or make them wear women's panties over their head while being led around on a leash, I say so what. Let the military handle it. It doesn't need to be broadcast in every newspaper around the world. We let the military police their own in many other incidents without media attention. You don't see the prostitute rings on air craft carriers story broadcast all over the news. I suspect it's because the media wouldn't want to aid in having women removed from ships. In WWII, the Marine tank commanders used to hang the heads of Japanese from their gun turrents. It instilled fear in the enemy. In Vietnam, it was the collecting of ears from dead enemy and making necklaces out of them. In the middle east, it's freaky sex games with prisoners. I guess it's a sign of the times. It's hardly the thing to politicize and call for the heads of everyone up the line and pulling the troops out. Mistreatment of prisoners is merely the cost of doing business. It's how people, who are scared to death, react to dangerous surroundings in which they don't have very much control over their lives. Clean it up if you can but hardly the big deal most are trying to make out of it. dabum
