Every solider in a War makes mistakes.
These "idiots"as someone put it, were totally stupid for taking the pictures, and doing the actual act. But lets not compare them to Saddam Hussien, like the Arabs and the Democrats are trying to do. It all reality, they didn't do anything terribly wrong(they didn't kill anyone, or chop off their arms or such, like Saddam did) They were fools to do it, and even more foolish to take the pictures. But don't compare what they did to the past. It is also funny how everyone in the world can do bad shit, but the first time an american does something bad. The world is "shocked" and upset. Do you know the total percent of the troops that did this?? I did the math and stopped way before I got the total answer: But out of 135,000 US TROOPS 10 or less did this act That comes out to a percentage of 0.01953125% of the total number of troops. |

Like I said before, I have seen a lot worse for frat pledges. Not defending their (the MPs') actions, but, come on, it ain't the huge thing everyone is making it out to be. Those responsible will be properly tried and punished, and life will go on. However, I think it is dangerous to hold ourselves up to someone like Saddam as a justification for their actions. Since this IS a quotes forum, here's one for you all:

In my view both RN and Lazza are right. but if Iraqi's new gov't gets to keep its legitimacy at the eyes of its people and they manage to take control over their territory by catching more and more guerrilla fighters and terrorists, by trialling Saddam and by enforcing a minimum of rule of law, then it's gonna be a victory. A victory that these scandals will have only slowed down a little. People are NOT against war, they're just against ii WHEN it doesn't work. Makes a huge difference.
