If you turn your monitor off and just listen to the sounds, you will hear this woman say "NO" several times and you can hear the distress in her voice.
Then, when you turn your monitor on and watch the activity around the incident, you will see soldiers walk up, watch and listen to her cries for a few seconds, then put their heads down and rush away. Did they know whether or not she needed their assistance before they left?
I find this video quite disturbing.
One thing that struck me is how respectfully they treated her. A hold with no grabs on the top to pin her arms and held at the knees. No bottom holds and no slipping hands. No groping. no grabbing. They were treating a friend to a joke, not a sex object.
This is not an abusive event, but the guy that was stupid enough to tape it and then to allow someone (if not the same) to post it is just plain stupid.
Same stuff goes on in Barney Frank's Basement on an average Saturday night, except no chicks...
She's laughing the same way that the girl in my coed dorm did during one of my buddy's duct tape experiments.
We didnt study so we are stuck in Iraq
That looked like harmless playing around. When I had my last airborne CP alert, my female commo and intel officers wrapped and taped me in plastic and gave me the traditional cart-start, popping 4 cans of shaving cream inside my flight suit. It was part of the traditional send-off. Thank God they didn't do the other part of the send-off, hosing me down with a fire hose -- it was December and 20 below outside.
This is a terrible case of duct tape misappropriation. We're gonna need all the duct tape we can find for the big retreat out of Iraq next year.
It's not inappropriate unless there's lots of skin and lots of danger! This girl was having fun.
Nobody lost an eye so it's still fun and games.
Looks like harmless fun. It was stupid to videotape and even more stupid to release the public.
If I were their CO, I'd tell them "Knock it Off - thats 'yellow-light' behavior".
That kind of 'fun' has the potential to get out of hand - though nothing I saw was overtly over-the-line. Again, tell them to Knock it off, and perhaps find them some busiwork for a while to get them doing something else.

Glad we were in a secure classified facility with no possibility of cameras or an MSM making mountains out of molehills.
New folks (men and women) were ductaped to their console as an initiation.
It would be an instant hit, all around the world...
