Like CWOJackson, pointed out,
this "abuse" looks more like a
college frat prank.
Not only that, but the reservists
in the photos, look like college age kids.
I'll bet they got the idea from frat initiations.
AND, the resounding complaint from the "abused"
was "they made us look like women."
HA!
How awful.

I agree with your comments about a frat prank. These pictures look staged and when you stop to think about it these kids could be college fraternity people that were called in Active Duty with the Reserves. One of my son's fraternity brothers was called up by the Marine Reserves and was in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Live in a college town, my son is in a fraternity, and I would hate to report what has happened on occasion even though hazing is outlawed.
Not condoning this behavior but I do believe that some folks are blowing this totally out of proportion compared to the number of security police that would never do something like this. Certain Freepers are tarring and feathering everyone in the Chain of Command which is flat out wrong.
One thing that bothers me about the one picture of Iraqi prisoners is the fact they don't look Middle Eastern and they are in great shape.
