What do you know about any of this except what you read in the media, i.e., the communist enemy of the U.S.A.???

Okay, I'll go real slow for you (as it appears I have to).

1) the former soldier was arrested based on a sworn affadavit by the other soldiers in the group. Logic would dictate the other soldiers either

A) actually saw something of which they are attesting to
B) were involved in a crime (possibly worse) in which they are laying this crime at the feet of a former colleague to divert attention from them.

One can make this claim as there would be no reason to give a statement to investigators claiming a crime was committed otherwise. I imagine if you wanted to claim they had some vendetta against their former colleague to the point that they were willing to lie under oath you could. However this is simply unrealistic (and tells us we have consummate liars serving in the Armed Forces)

2) I know about this because I have studied many of the wars in the world's history. Granted I have not published a book reconfirming the state's view of 'history' as some have, but I look at history with as little as bias as possible. This has not only allowed me to recognize the successes, as well as missteps and faults, of all governments, but I also understand that in the fog of war many things happen that the state's army's leadership would not necessarily condone. This is a historical fact in every war in history. Hence, things are happening over there those of you that accept government versions only do not want to hear. I can also, without a doubt, tell you there is a very good chance a black market of US equipment is thriving in Iraq. With inside help (i.e. members of the Armed Forces)

3) As the United States Armed Forces is a microcosm of society as a whole, statistical data will tell us there is a percentage of members of the Armed Forces that are active in what we would call criminal activity.

Again these are facts and statistics that cannot be argued against. It has nothing to do with the media (I really wish you 'conservatives' would quit throwing around misnomers (i.e. communists) that don't necessarily apply) but rather historical data and simple numerical information.
