I heard on CNN that the troops claimed that they weren't trained on the Geneva Convention Rules. To this I say BULLSHIT. They had Geneva pounded in their heads. They just chose to ignore it. We even recieved briefings before exercises.
Unfortunately their acts will cost lives (ours and theirs).
They don't even deserve to be called "asshats". Years of "hard labor" and dishonorable discharges with no benefits seems like the minimum sentence IMO.
