Based upon what evidence do you make that conclusion about the prison guards?
I don't think it is, in the least.
We will just have to disagree.
There were pictures of the "Highway of Death," too and I still believe that's why we halted Gulf War I!!!
I think we're "lookin for love in all the wrong places!" That's why we lose our nerve and waste billions on trying to fix entire nations, only to be frustrated by a population raised on visual aids!!!
The picture of "the good earth," rising over a "dead moonscape" launched a GovernMental EnvironMental extremism movement our economy has stuggled with for thirty five friggen years in this nation!!!
A picture of a burned, naked female Vietnamese child and Walter Chronkite caused the greatest nation in the planet's history to turn tail and run like the politically corrected cowards the "peace movement" wished us to be... all to save something called "a sense of moral superiority" we find so comfortable until planes crash into tall buildings, killing everyone possible.
This is what's wrong with "Group-Think!" We elect leaders... Then refuse to allow them to lead!!!
