"just following orders" Hmm. the Nuerenberg(sp) defense.
It was this way when I was their age too.
Why is it so hard to believe that these incidents were HiJinks by young soldiers ?
Senator Graham is just trying to cover up his embarrassment at the investigation showing this didn't go beyond the prison, after he (Graham)claimed this scandal went all the way up the chain of command, immediately, with absolutely NO proof to back up his accusations.
He played right into the enemy's hands by promoting the idea that this scandal stained the reputation of the entire US military. Now that he's been proven wrong, it seems he's not willing to apologize. Shame on him.
