I have children who are now just past their teens. These kids document every silly thing they do with photos. In fact, the need for a photo sometimes instigates some of the activity.

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 ?

Also apparently outraged by the idea that the soldiers themselves could have conceived of such behavior, Sen. Graham scoffed, "I'm not buying it." Some of those photos were "too elaborate."

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.
