Thanks for the ping. Many active duty military are equally disguted by this. The image of Americas Military was taking a turn for the better since the days of Vietnam. This incident will only serve those like Jf'nK who said so many years ago that they are war criminal committing crimes against humanity.

Meg I saw it and he had good points. The only problem, I have is with no answer about context or timing of events. We don't know who the prisoners in the pictures were. We don't know what if any information we were trying to get from them. It is one thing for on-duty guys to be outraged and I applaud them for that but we have been in a high intensity guerrilla war over there and the folks handling prisoners also have a mission to get information as fast as possible. As I said, there may be a valid reason OR it may have just been a group of sick SOBs being SOBs. I haven't made up my mind yet and can't until I get the context that goes along with the pictures. I am more concerned about a possible command over reaction that leads to less effective intelligence on the ground.
