I default to the soldiers' side, too -- just not necessarily the one accused of beating prisoners. If she did it unprovoked, then she deserves punishment.
Where are you again?
Yeah, yeah, you claim to be in Iraq. If that's true, then thanks for your service. Which has nothing to do with whether or not it's OK for guards to beat prisoners. It's wrong here, and it's wrong in Iraq.
And you sit in judgement of her based on this story?
As do you.
