I think what we have here is representative more of what the relationship between guards and prisoners descends into. The only reason it played out worse than in a standard prison is the hatred and contempt the soldiers had for their prisoners, an emotion played on since before the war even began. It's a pity these events only come to light when so many leaders are presented with the facts that they can no longer turn a blind eye to what is going on. I imagine a lot of the low ranking soldiers over there even knew what was going on, but I can imagine they'd rather have said nothing than be reprimanded by their superiors or be viewed as a traitor to the rest of the army.
