I don't care why the prisoners were in jail....... those soldiers bullied and humiliated them.

Would you feel the same way if you knew for certain that the prisoners in question were Al Qaeda terrorists responsible for the deaths of many Americans? .....Or how about if bin Laden himself was the one "bullied and humiliated?"

What's that got to do with the point we are discussing.

It's a peculiarity of Americans I think that we have no problem killing the jihadists but that we do have a problem with this depravity and the recording of it on digital media.

I think that peculiar American trait is a good one.

In contrast to my disdain for these amateurs I have nothing but respect for Colonel West, a professional, who did what he had to in order to save his men. Necessity and amusement are not morally equivalent motives.
