Okay, first off, I am not trying to justify what has apparently happened over there, but I will point out a coupel of facts.
There was a study done at a major university where one group of college students was put in control over another group of college students to see what the effects of control were. This was supposed to be a two week test, but they had to stop it after one week because the control group started going overboard with the mistreatment of the controlled group.
I have heard of a few of these tests being done, all with the same results. These were not done in a war time environment. What did it prove? Pretty much that it is human nature to take advantage of the situation when one is put in a power situation like that.
Secondly, how many times have you read about college and high school hazing incidents, where boys and girls both went to extreme measures when put in a position of power.
Lastly, would you rather be in a POW camp in Iraq/Cuba, or on Fear Factor?
