I wonder. If, instead of throwing the book at Graner, the President and Secretary of Defense had said "Hey terrorists, we're going to catch you and when we do, the things you saw in those photos will happen to you. If your one of the lucky ones." Would jihadi monkeys be streaming into Iraq like ants? Or would they be heading in the other direction?
It is known that Graner was specifically told to NOT have relations with Lynndie England,the slut he knocked up, He was fraternizing with a subordinate. That's against military rules.He ignored both the rules and his superiors' orders.He pimped Lynndie to his pals and put on sex-shows for them with her.
Lynndie was a file file clerk and had NO business being in that prison,nor with Graner and his "mates";let alone have anything at all to do with the prisoners....but she did.
Graner was also charged with DERILICTION OF DUTY.Do you even have the foggiest idea what that means?
This is not a movie.This is not a cartoon.This is not an action serial.THIS IS FOR REAL WAR!
sad to see so many willing to throw the guy under the bus...
now troops will be hesitant in the field...
I wonder if these folks who are so critical of an American soldier would take issue with executing a terrorist on the spot when caught in the act?
Sadly, I see this becoming a "pc" war...new liberal mantra: "have you hugged a terrorist today?" LOL
Iraq is a honeypot. The whole *idea* is for terrorists to go there to be killed by our fully deployed, professional military over there, rather than having them trickle into the U.S. for weekly suicide bombings at your neighborhood McDonald's.
