And do you approve of treating our troops worse than the terrorists -- punishing them for self defense?

"Documents recently obtained by The Associated Press through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show that one detainee punched a guard in the mouth, knocking out his tooth, then began to bite the MP. Several guards were required to repel the prisoner's attack; one soldier who came to the rescue delivered two blows to the inmate's head with a handheld radio.

For this he was dropped in rank to private. "

Please show me where I said I support that.

You may as well ask if I support hurricane Wilma hitting Florida.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

I would put up with him being dropped in rank, if they dropped the prisoner with a rope around his neck. Till then, they should have promoted him for his resourcefulness.
