What the fuck is wrong with you man? "my friend got killed today, so i raped a 12 year old. its ok... war is hell"

I never said you should have a torture card, your missing my point here - i find what they did disgusting and unworthy of any prisoner, make no mistake about it.
However as i said earlier, these persons who are put on trial are part of a larger problem. Yes it was stupid and i'm sure many of them who participated in this regrets it looking back on it - but in the heat of things people have a tendency to loose grasp of reality - especially when they havent had prober training which most of the prison guards hadn't recieved.
- and as for standing orders...to my knowledge there has been some talk about wheather or not there was a standing order "to get the prisoners to talk with whatever means they had".
