I guess this is the story... fairuse.1accesshost.com The story's recent - within the last few days - but these guys are soldiers. Soldiers that were acting in a capacity as prison guards. IMO, soldiers are all drawn from the general population. The high regard we give to them is arbitrary. They aren't, as people, any different then anyone else. It's really the job assignment that we give a high regard to. We just extend it to the people. jttmab
