" Yes, they are trying to repair the damage caused by young troops obeying orders, and the immense damage caused by our media."

Military regs are the orders. They were disobeyed, and IMO, it was not mostly by young recruits, but senior noncoms and officers that failed to do their duty. The damage Bush is looking at this morning is more criminal than what is out already.

The media would have nothing to work with if the incidents never occurred. The cause and responsibility for these actions belongs to the ones that were charged with seeing that this "lord of the Flies" stuff never happens. None of the group Bush, Rumsfeld, or the Pentagon condoned, would condone, or authorized this stuff.

What happened to “jihadists deserve no quarter!

I’m still waiting for the “Rumsfeld said” verification. Also, “Should” means “it would be nice if”, “Shall” means “You will do”.

None of the group Bush, Rumsfeld, or the Pentagon condoned, would condone, or authorized this stuff.

Not if they wanted to keep their careers. It ain’t PC.
