This "abuse" at Abu GHraib WAS nothing more than what happens at a Navy "crossing-the-equator" ceremony!

Are you really saying that males on your ship repeatedly raped other males while videotaping it, shoved objects up their rears, forced men to masturbate and ejaculate into the mouths of others, and beat persons so bad that 1 died and several others came close to death?

Those are the serious charges of abuse that are being investigated and charges filed as a result. Regardless of how much the lying media/dems overhype some of the simple humiliation, abusive acts were perpetrated.

Were you there to see, by yourself, that what the pictures are "staging" or what the medias are accusing of took place?

My pictures from the Equator "baptisms," a full day event on board, are gross in the eyes of people who have no clue about this seagoing tradition. They will make comments on how can such "abusive" behaviors take place. They cannot picture that everybody on board would meet together on the after deck for a nice and camaraderie party with "breaking bread" together and over a nice dinner receive their "real" Equator birth certificate.
That certificate had to be presented on another ship they might join and cross the Equator. If they could not present the certificate they would be dragged through the same gross ceremony once again! People are really shocked when the see my photos (in black&white)
