I believe in supporting our troops.

First and foremost, from my limited military experience, I do not believe low ranking enlisted men and women, corporals and specialists, would have enough authority to carry out the crimes the military has charged them with without the approval of their superiors.

I believe our troops when they stated they were following orders. I do not believe the "few bad apples" claim.That is not the way the military functions.

To sacrifice these brave men and women in uniform doing their duty half way around the world in order for senior personnel to save face is wrong in my opinion.

Maybe there will be additional evidence in these photos to support the claims of our servicemen sentenced to hard time that they were following the lawful orders of superiors.

Anyone who's been in the Army knows that the line doggies do stuff the Generals neither know of nor approve.

American soldiers are not mere order-taking robots.

BTW, the women identified "superior officers" who gave them orders ~ namely the Specialist 4th Class who was having sexual congress with them!

One of the ladies is described as a lesbian too.

My theory of this whole thing is that we had a National Guard/Reserve component taken over by a group of folks more into sexual license than being good soldiers.

They got caught.
