Soldiers horrifically abuse Iraqis

It is a regrettable event that happened over in Iraq. Regrettable and wrong. There is absolutely no doubt about that, but like many have pointed out, it is not a representation of the entirety of the armed forces over in Iraq.

These were 6 soldiers who thought they'd get a good laugh at the Iraqi's everyones been killed by, and to humiliate them for their own twisted reasons.

It is a wonderful redeeming fact that their own troopmates turned them in. Those soldiers who stood up to 6 others that they had lived and fought with is commendable and they should be praised and recognized.

The one soldier claimed he didn't have training, true, but this was a cop out and an excuse. Ridiculous on all accounts considering his job.

To the young lady who feels there is no need to have patriotism in ones country, or doesn't feel proud of where she lives, I think that's very sad that you can't count your blessings (so to speak) to be living in a country with Womens Rights and tons of other laws to 'level the playing field' for all kinds of people. With freedom of speech, to say that you don't love America although you are American.

Personally I think that being un-patriotic is a fad like wearing those gay hankercheifs on your head was a few years ago. It's cool now, but who knows what will be 'cool' tomorrow.
