>> trying to claim that the entirety of the US military is no better than these criminals who committed these atrocities at that prison

The entirety of US military follow orders. It looks like the orders were to commit the atrocities that you deplore. I and several others posted the links to you. You are choosing to ignore them.

>> Who's Admiral Zinni?

He's the man who gave this speech.

washingtonpost.com

Zinni has picked his shots carefully -- a speech here, a "Nightline" segment or interview there. "My contemporaries, our feelings and sensitivities were forged on the battlefields of Vietnam, where we heard the garbage and the lies, and we saw the sacrifice," he said at a talk to hundreds of Marine and Navy officers and others at a Crystal City hotel ballroom in September. "I ask you, is it happening again?" The speech, part of a forum sponsored by the U.S. Naval Institute and the Marine Corps Association, received prolonged applause, with many officers standing.
