Their abuse was not done for jollys, it was done to break them for interrogation.

And making them talk about what terrorist groups they are from is more important than making us stand at attention better than the day before.

Race, I assume you've read the Pentagon reports of what took place so I won't reiterate it.

If those reports had said that they tied electrodes to their testicles to make them talk, I would have had no problem with that. That's what those vermin deserve.
I saw nothing there that indicated anything other than a sick sexual pleasure, and I do have a problem with that.

There is a fine line between the necessity of making Marines and sadistic pleasure, and I don't think any DI in the Corps ever inflicted punishment because they liked to do it - only because it was necessary to keep us alive someday.

I didn't get my nose smashed because I couldn't stand at attention.
It was due to a member of my squad being in the head when he was supposed to be on the grinder.
This leads into the responsibility of the chain of command all the way to Rumsfield.

I've never understood why our Marines "are chasing insurgents across the rooftops and arresting them"!

"Arrest", hell!
Let their families pick up the pieces after a couple of .50 calibers rip them apart!
