Re: Is it telling?
Originally posted by Bob_VT:<br /> It is a can of worms.... After my 20 year career in the Army on active duty I have drawn my own conclusions. I side with the soldiers not the media.
It is obvious that there are more than two sides to this terrible episode of "torture and mistreatment" of prisoners.<br />The buck ought to stop with whomsoever gave the order, though some burden of responsiblity should be made to bear on the officers in command at the time.<br />It is no doubt that this whole ghastly affair has cast a dark cloud on an otherwise impeccable reputation of the professional armed forces of the USA.<br />It is my belief that no American is proud of the bad judgement exerted by some of its finest in uniform.<br />As a country of laws, we ought not to act out of haste, "throwing the baby out with the bath water" is certainly not the answer, let the "facts" speak for themselves.
