Iraq is notorious for being cruel and abusive toward the weaker of the world and of their own nation.
Not all of those friends who I know who are serving truely approve of the United States reasons for this current war. They did not know they were going to be thrust into a situation that they didn't totally agree with either but they have the honor to at least go through with what they agreed to.
Not one of these men and women whom I know who serve our country are Sociopaths. Do you even have a psychology degree to make such a declaration.
I'm not disgreeing that those who abuse the prisoners don't have some psychological and emotional problems and need to be dealt with instead of allowed to continue. Their actions do not speak for the entirety of our armed forces let alone a large portion even.
Please refrain from making negative generalizations.

First off, I do not need a psychology degree to make a statement like that. Anybody who has the power to pick up a gun and murder innocent people, or for that matter, anybody at all, without a second thought is not mentally stable.
You say Iraq is cruel toward the weaker of the world? I thought America was the nation always attacking the weaker country. Iraq being one of them. Besides, do you truly think we are in Iraq to help them, if you do, you are blind just like everyone else. If the case was to give the Iraqis freedom, why dont we go into all these other countries that have a evil dictator and no freedom and help them?
Once again, you say some of these soldiers dont agree with what they are in Iraq for, but fight anyway. This does not make them heroes, it makes them cowards for being afraid to disagree and say they will not fight, no matter what the circumstance or punishment would be. You can say what you like, but it doesnt change the facts. Thou shalt not kill.
