" pity you knowing that you're walking around. They're MI and you're still active duty? Is Alaskan winter duty awaiting you? /sarcasm"

Actually, I was pitying you there for a second, but you eliminated that.

If MI or anyone was doing these things, then they, too, were disgracing their uniforms and all who wear them. If a prisoner has time-critical information, they are taken to a secure area, interrogated with drugs if need be, and then returned to detention.

In what insane world are they photographed on leashes for pictures and videotapes for the amusement of junior National Guard troopers? In what world are they sexually abused? If that is the military you think we should have, then there are others besides the American one who make that a matter of policy.

We do not...and those who nonetheless do so are guilty of many, many courts-martial offenses. They also lower our standing in our own country and around the world.

I'm sorry indeed that you were one of those "rebels", apparently, who had little regard for the face that we all present to the world and our countrymen. I'm also sorry that you apparently cannot see the very real damage that these activities do to ALL servicemen. EVERY one serving that I now know, after ten years in the Navy, deplores this disgrace, and all feel a bit of shame because of it. Morale has suffered greatly.

But, hey! YOU feel great about it, obviously. Although, maybe not...you ARE, after all, attempting to "spin" the report so it comes under question.

I will not have some idiotic flame war about this with you. Your opinions, frankly, disgust me no end, and your continued rudeness is just all the more reason now for me to ignore you as I would dismiss ANY excuses now being offered by these perps.

...you ARE, after all, attempting to "spin" the report so it comes under question.
Hey assmunch, you're the one believing what folks who were out trying to kill our soldiers and Marines are saying, not me.
I'm not spinning anything. Maybe you should read it all again with a discerning eye and consider that Taguba, possibly, is the one spinning things.
I don't think you're adult enough to even realize that such a thing could happen. You seem too "emotional" to see anything ewxcept what you want to see.

...after ten years in the Navy...
Ten years in, eh? You went in during the Clinton years!
That says a lot right there. I won't "ask" anything more of you...
