I guess Playboy and Penthouse aren’t alternatives for her either.
“One final thought: How many other Americans (soldiers or otherwise) have been killed due to anger over her antics?”
Yeah, islamo-nazis who were trying to live in peace with everyone were pushed to their limit and and put down their ploughshares and started killing because of Lynndie England’s depraved (and really really mean)acts.
I am in total aggreement with you. The problem with Abu Ghraib was STUPID people took pictures and then EMAILED them to each other.
They never learned :
1. Never bring a camera to a bachelor party.
2. Email is forever.
Trust me, I’m not justifying the Islamo-nazis. But I do think that Au Ghraib became a recruiting tool for them. I also blame the MSM for sensationalizing the scandal.
“The real problem is human nature of making her the scape goat. What went on in Irak was none of her doing, she was at the total bottom of the pecking order.”
Her, and the other soldiers working her shift, problem was they did not do it under orders but for fun. Big difference.
The CoC problem was one of oversight. Their Platoon SGT or 1SG should have cruised by in the wee hours, caught them at their tricks and kicked some butt.
If she wasn’t so ugly, she could play the bondage mistress in porn films. Paging Vixen DVD Co.
You may recall that the only frigging name that the communists can throw up about Vietnam atrocities is usually My Lai. Another idiot that far exceeded his responsibility and obligations as a soldier. Forgiveness my dupa, when the democrat trash beg the forgiveness of all of us for the trashing they have given our country over this, I might consider quitting hating her hillbilly ass for what she did. Her actions and the actions of her democrat supporters placed a lot of good warriors, including my son, in more danger by allowing the terrorist allies of the democrat party a reason to hate us more than they already did. Their (England and her allies) actions besmirched the reputations of a lot of good and descent men and women who don't deserve it. There are a lot of good people who will be forever 18 or 19 or 20 while she gets to continue drawing breath. You forgive her.
Exactly right, that problem should have been taken care of internally and never reached the internet. Good old case of attitude adjustment handled in the home.
It may have but the islamo-nazi world view is not reasonable therefore their “reasoning” is not reasonable. The guys who put on the Bataan death march only needed their victims to not be Japanese. If they’d had some flimsy excuse with which to gild their raving insanity it would have been purely superficial to their motives.
You want brilliant, read Michael Kelly’s books, he was killed in the Iraq war in 2004.
Right, she had no business being in the cell area. Her boy friend (and father of her bastard) illegally let her in.
Probably won't work too well.
Being young and stupid almost go together. If we shot every young person that done stupid things few of us would reach old age.
What she and others done was wrong. She has been punished.
She does not deserve your life long scorn.
She did not harm me personally so it is not my place to offer her forgiveness. I can decide not to cause her additional pain. You are of course free to contine to hate her but it reflects more on your character then hers.
If I had a job, yes.
I am retired so I am not in a position to help her.
We are all responsible for our actions. Even those that wish to punish her more will be responsible for their action.
I agree, but that does not me we need to hold the hose while she is being destroyed.
War is hell, people get hurt, people die. It is not like she turned traitor and provided direct aid to the enemy. Soldiers make mistakes that lead to the death of their comrades in every war. It happens and it is the price of war (and before anyone jumps on me over this, look at my name - the CIB stands for Combat Infantryman Badge. (
Personally I would hold our Main Stream Media responsible for any servive member being killed as a result of all this.
They are the ones that took a minor event and blow it all out of porportion.
No, but I normally stay away from the meaner threads.
I often wonder if some of the meanest comments are not from trolls so that later they can be pulled to show how extreme FreeRepublic is.
I do not know her motive, nor do I know she is a sadist.
She was a young woman in a man’s world trying to fit in. Have you never heard of peer pressure.
All those throwing stones need to ask themselves, would you been able to resist the peer pressure if you were placed in the situation. The blame belongs to those above her that did not provide the proper training or supervision.
Having said that, I will repeat, she has been punished for her part in all this.
I do not defend her action. I am concerned about how some on this forum express such contempt and lack of compassion for a fellow human being that made a mistake.
She deserves the chance to get on with her life.
