The important point is not that my father violated an order. It is that there was an order by someone who should have known better. In Vietnam, those type of officers would often wake up with a live grenade in their sleeping bag. In principle, by Iraq(I or II) we should have had an officer corp. that knew a hell of a lot better than to have an Abu Ghraib happen. They didn't. Abu Ghraib could not have happened with out the entire chain of command up to the highest levels being complicit in some respects. It did. Draw any conclusions you want, but the military has a major realignment to suffer through. Larger than post-Vietnam. With less excuses. Well said! ted
