Ever served IN the military to understand all of the ramifications?
It's fine to look the other way when torture is used just because the perp is an American - one of "our guys"?
That alone makes it cool to you??
Think of the all the Hanoi Hiltons and the animals who ran those and tortured our POWs for years, and what our guys endured - German concentration camps - - and others.
The prisoner was not on a battlefield where he was a threat to the guards or others where some might have looked the other way to spare lives...
(Yes - I served in the U. S. Marine Corps at Parris Island during the Korean Conflict, instructing women recuits in the classroom - another war, with the development there of brainwashing as a technique against the American prisoners, and very frequent brutal torture - including torture of my own husband)

I guess Staff Sgt. Ivan "Chip" Frederick has made these Muslims mad at us. I wonder what they will do us Americans now that they are mad at us?
These soldiers caused problems all the way to the Pentagon.
And the men and women who serve with
honor are "smeared" by the actions of the guilty.
That said, the guilty they took an oath and disregarded it.
So I don't feel sorry for them at all.
