Having been around the military a bit, it is very difficult for me to believe that some or most of this was not known and condoned by some who were/are high in the chain of commmand. If it was not known it is pure negligence and incompetence and that alone makes them guilty.

One who may not fall but who certainly has a great deal of responsibility for oversight is the General (can't remember her name) who ran the MP Brigade with no discipline, none. The troops did whatever they desired, no saluting, no respect for seniors, lowest enlisted ranks calling field grade officers by their first names, etc.

I won't be surprised at what comes out but my heart goes out to the troops in the field who will take the brunt of the backlash (effect from the libs and media in the US).

In my view, we no longer understand how to wage war.

Well, brutalizing prisoners has no place in any war we wage.

I've got two sons who are cops, and they say it's all they can do sometimes to keep from beating some of these perps to a pulp, especially when they see dead kids, or a wife, bloody and crying.

But, they don't, even when they could get away with it.

It's really sad, because some other folks in the unit who apparently did their jobs were up for a Bronze Star, but it was reported tonight that because of this crap no one in the unit will receive any honors. So the many will suffer for the idiocy of a few.
