OK I went back and read the rest of the article. I still call BS. ALL Soldiers are given Geneva Convention and the Laws of War training, that is why the "I did not know I was doing anything wrong" or the "I was just following orders" defense does not work. These were POS Soldiers with POS leadership. Her claim that they were not trained is also BS. MP's have 5 battlefield functions; Area Security, Law and Order Operations, Police Intel Operations, Movement and Mobility Support Opns, and Detainee Opns. The 372nd was trained on Detainee Opns.

I'm with you on all that. I'm a former infantry officer, and we got regular classes on how to deal with EPW's. Soldiers get classes on the Law of Land Warfare even at the initial entry training level. Even at that level, they are taught that in order for an order to be valid, it must be a legal order, and that "I was just following orders" didn't count as an excuse.

She's full of sh*t, although she may well have gotten a "tour" of the facility during her R&I period.
