The OP points out that deplorable abuses took place at the hands of members of our country's military, and half of you worthless ***** have nothing to post other than lame ass insults and *****-fits about the "blame America first crowd." If you care more about your political ideology than bringing criminals to justice, get the hell out of the US.
"I'm not anti-American, and I didn't come here to condemn America - I want to make that very clear! I came here to tell the truth - and if the truth condemns America, then she stands condemned!"
You have pics showing a few soldiers acting like idiots and mugging for the camera. They were penalized for their actions. And as BikerSailer pointed out repeatedly, these were apparently reservists - not trained for this kind of environment. It was sloppy work by military administration - but NOT worthy of the faux outrage this thread is attempting. As to stories of rape, etc - until there is absolute proof I will not paint that mark upon our American soldiers.
Do you really wish to compare/contrast what these soldiers did to what has been done to American soldiers captured - or civilians for that matter?

The above is one of two US soldiers beheaded that day...
I am not condoning what happened in that military-run prison several years ago - but I also am asking for people such as yourself to have some perspective. The vast majority of our military serve with distinction and honor - and when wrongs are committed, they are punished appropriately. If you wish to rebuke the actions that took place by that handful of American soldiers, then I would hope you would have a far stronger and aggressive rebuke for the disgusting acts of torture and death that have been conducted by militant Muslims in various parts of the world in the twisted name of their God - a version of god that does not exist but in the twisted char blackened minds and hearts of those subhuman Muslim terrorists...
