Long Cut represents what is right and good with our military and he is genuinely outraged over this because of what has been done to his honor and that of his comrades in arms. I think his focus is very narrow because of this but I have read that report and there is not a lot of exculpatory evidence in favor of all of those accused. I don't believe that this was done to "get information to save lives". I think it is the sick actions of 7 very strange human beings. That being said the real villains are those using this to weaken the United States using methods so cynical as to put the Vietnam anti-war crowd to shame.
Excellent post Tex, I agree with you 100%, I don't have any reason to flame or disagree with Long Cut's outrage, what the 6 or so soldiers did in that prison was despicable. The smiling face of that female guard as she points at the crotch of the male prisoners just sickens me because of how much she disgraced the Military and the Country she took an oath to serve.
But that doesn't excuse those who released these photo's. Justice can be served and compensation can be made without trashing the reputations of the vast majority of those who have been serving their Country so honorably by making these photo's available to the public.
IMHO this was orchestrated by, and carried out by, the leftist in this country who do not support our efforts to take the fight to the enemy, before they bring the fight to us. Hackworth's help in releasing the pictures and whoever released the Summery Report to the Media, did a great disservice to our Country, and they should be held accountable for the damage they have done to their Country
