it doesnt take a genius to know that 18 year old soldiers were blowing up frogs with m-80's when they were 14. they feel proud to have "won" - they have been indoctrinated to think of these people as ONLY "the enemy" ... now the higher ups say "these soldiers let us down"
bullshit - you let them down. they dont have enough support over there, and if they are handling prisoners this way, there is a lack of supervision by a mature higher ranking official, and a lack of training from the day they entered boot camp.
when i was their age, i couldnt find my ass with both hands and a road map. when something fucks up - its the bosses fault. poor management.

the only thing is it isn't those young boys who are doing this as much. it's reservists who are in their late 20's and early 30's. and being allowed to by the higher ups, but even so, just because a higher up doesn't stop you it's so fucking obvious what you're doing is wrong you've got no excuse.
and cassie if anything i'm disappointed in you, who said to feel sympathy for people that were fighting against us. rather i said this is just fucking wrong and disgusting what some of our soldiers engaged in, equally as disgusting as when our enemies do it to our boys.
