I fail to understand why some people here and elsewhere are taking this for more than it is, i.e. a reprehensible incident of abuse of prisoners by some guards.

Those guards (and their superiors if necessary) should be punished to the fullest extent of the law and the situation examined to minimize the possibility of it happening again.

Likewise, the entire US military and nation should not be indicted because of it.
