Two points, one plus and one minus:
The Sun is determined to do anything to undermine the Iraqi war.
The British army, regretably, has a history of forced homosexuality in basic training as a kind of initiation ritual. I won't go into the details but there has been some pretty sadistic stuff going on.

Although I believe The Sun has an agenda of its own and is using this story to fuel it, it appears the story is true... I mean, if there are pictures and they're genuine then that's irreffutable evidence of these indecent acts, acts that should not be allowed in any country, on any side of a war. These soldiers should be punished if what the pictures show actually happened, sure these were enemy soldiers but they are people too and no one deserved this kind of sadistic abuse

The Sun is determined to do anything to undermine the Iraqi war. The Sun has been extremely pro-war. It's the Mirror that is avidly anti-war.

It's interesting how the Sun suddenly has an "agenda" after supporting the war. Perhaps you remember when they lambasted Chirac?

The Sun is determined to do anything to undermine the Iraqi war. Are you kidding? The Sun was more gung ho about the war than just about any other publication on Earth. Seriously, the Sun made most American papers look like war protestors (which they were). LOL! The Sun was practically a combatant. I think it was favorite place to go during the war.
They haven't undermined the war by printing the truth (assuming this is). This Soldier has undermined the military effort through his actions. That's what's happened. Put the blame where it belongs.
