Thanks. I would not believe it if someone told me a military the size of ours, trained to be deadly aggressive, was free from violent crime. This is not happy news but it is the kind of anomalous thing I would have expected from time to time. This particular example, however, does not support Shep's assertions about Bush.

""The harsh treatment, which has resulted in criminal charges against seven soldiers, went well beyond the two deaths."

There were probably a rash of these, especially during early engagement when large numbers of raw recruits were being sent to Afghanistan and Iraq. I heard there were some horrible detention sites hosted by the Afghans too, on both sides.
