Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
American soldiers are not exempt from this rule.

That is total bullshit. This was not about power and corruption. The young men and women who perpetrated this event were at the bottom of the power pole.

This was a sick prank. They are done by young people on campuses and sport teams in America every year. The US military is a reflection of that society.

Steven...what was your point? From the looks of the news, so called "leaders" in many parts of the world could use some non-corruption lessons. By in large, American leaders, in a country of nearly 300,000,000 people are pretty good people. We may not agree with some of those so called leaders politically, and some aren't the sharpest pencils, but by in large, they aren't crooks, murderers, torturers, or anything like it.
