Ok, let's get some perspective here. What these soldiers did was reprehensible and undeniably wrong. However, most of the prisoners were unharmed and only humiliated. These are the same Iraqis who strung up our troops from a bridge and dance on our helicopters when they shoot them down. As in all wars, people fuck up. During the first Iraqi war, the only female captured was in a helicopter crash where both of her arms were broken. In the truck, she was raped by an Iraqi. The male soldier who was with her could do nothing but watch. However, she pointed out that every other Iraqi was polite to her, they gave her medical treatment for her arms, and she had no other issues until she was released. Are we going to condemn everyone for the actions of a few?
Also, we will handle the punishment. Do you think that the Iraqis will have a fair trial and a reasonable punishment for the crimes committed? Hell no. They have no justice system.
Whoever suggested that the Americans get shot stabbed, beaten, burned, and executed, please rethink your statements. That was a childish and dumb thing to say. America does not do everything right, but at least we try to make a difference in the world.
