who cares? She gives our military and our country a bad name. America likes to think that our prisons and interrogation techniques are so much more humane than other places, but with people like her around..so not true

Well I think alot of people would be surprised just how far seemingly normal people will go when recieving orders from an authority figure. I think situational rather than dispositional factors may be to blame.

you know, if this was the other way around, and the army or some company refused to hire her because of her being deprived of oxygen, she would be arguing that she could reson the same as her comrades.

frankly, the real reason she did it - because humiliating prisoners is FUN! - isn't much better.

Our fearless (and brainless) leader chose war as our answer for Iraq. war is about destroying the enemy. and since we HAVE to be at war for some reason, she is doing her "job". Iraq does the same kind of slandering and abuse to our POW'S. we bitch and complain and bitch and complain about how somebody somewhere under a high stress situation was ORDERED to do this, whether she had FUN is no ones business but hers.

If she's capable enough to be in the military then she's capable enough to stand up and admit she was wrong.

If what her lawyer said was true, then her medical condition should have barred her from enlistment in the first place.
