Yep. If we don't want a Lynch fiasco to happen again, we need to rethink on where they can serve.

I don't know if you saw any of the footage of the soldiers who were captured in their 'interviews' by al Jazeera. One was asked the question "Why did you come here?" to which the soldier answered "I came here to fix broke stuff". The soldier went on to say "If nobody bothered him, he wouldn't bother anybody".

I don't want to bust on the soldier. Lord knows that was said under duress but I would point out the soldier was male, not female.

Yeah, I remember that very clearly, but I'll bet he had guns as well as that camera pointing at him. I also remember that some of the POWs captured by Iraq during Desert Storm were forced to make on camera statements denouncing the United States. They had clearly been beaten, had black eyes, bruises, etc... The Geneva Conventions aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
