Yes, I agree with you. This is not the type of soldier that makes me proud of the military. Let's give the military credit for cleaning up the trash off it.

True however the military needs to screen recruits better.

Sadly she was probably part of a quota to even get into the armed forces.

I agree. And while it's obviously better to be embarrassed than headless, there's no excuse for the way those troops acted. It just gives MSM and lefty wack jobs more ammo to put in their gun pointed right at Uncle Sam's head...

A disgusting, obnoxious, sexually cheap disgrace to the good men and women of the military.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Is she getting "child support" payments from that Sgt. Graner that is the father of her kid? Seems as i recall he was married at the time. This whole mess is just that. A mess. One naive twit, and some guy who obviously likes to bed twits.

"She was a PFC - when she put the dog collar on Ole Rover Abdulla where was the E-4 above her or the E-5 above him or the E-6 above him or the E-7 above him or the E-8 above him or all of her OFFICERS to tell her to knock it off."

I believe she wasn't even assigned to this unit and was just visiting her boyfriend on the evening caligula shift. THE OFFICERS AND NCO'S FROM HER UNIT had given her orders to stay the hell away from the prison.

All of this had been discussed ad nauseum in previous threads.

Poor woman is dumb as a rock and just about as pretty. I hope she survives.

Lynndie's new home

Actually you are wrong. That picture is of the federal prison in Leavenworth, KS. Lynndie will likely serve her time at the disciplinary barracks (prison) on Ft. Leavenworth, KS. This picture is of the old disciplinary barracks at Ft. Leavenworth which just closed recently. I could not find a picture of the new facility.

I spent over a year at Ft. Leavenworth...outside the prison walls I might add!

Lynndie is a scapegoat.

Middle class college girls engage in the same behavior--and worse--every weekend at the frat house.

It's stupid and vulgar, but not criminal.

I'll bet they throw the book at her, many years in the joint. As I recall the court marshal had dismissed an earlier agreement. They want to hang her, probably to cover her commanders butts.

Well if that is all true then why not just charge her with disobeying an order instead of hanging her with abuse.

The guys really responsible are the guys on duty at the prison and their superiors. They should have been the ones keeping her out of there.

It sounded to me like she was egged on - probably with a lot of hooping and hollaring laugh and giggling going on.

Unless you are in the U.S. military. Then its illegal. She violated the Geneva Conventions...PERIOD! She got what she deserved.

What a sad day for military justice. Any reasonable jury ought to have been able to quickly conclude that this person was plagued by some sort of a syndrome, perhaps mildly retarded.

How sad that an enlisted person like that who was just following orders was crushed by the system.
