he claims to be in his 30's...

obviously there is some dispute here...

his rhetoric is childish and belligerent, more suited to a pre pubescent tween.

mentally his aged has been pinned at 11.

She was set-up,manipulated and then abandoned when the whole incident became public. Evidently she had been manipulated into taking part in photographs as she was told this would be of service to her country and, Lyndie England not being the brightest spark, swallowed the bait.
No doubt her lover who also worked in the prison was thoroughly evil, already accused of abuse against American prisoners in his own country.
I'm aware that these people don't represent the U.S. army as a whole. I feel sure there are very many professional soldiers out there in Iraq - many of whom are returning home to testify they feel the war in wrong and unjustified.
Don't you all think that maybe politicians have been using and abandoning the Lyndie Englands of this world for centuries? How about all those Vietnam vets nobody wanted to know once the war had ended?

"I don't know the tragic circumstances of this ugly incident, but I doubt that this woman would have done it completely of her own volition."

I just found the whole situation weird. It's hard to take this woman seriously to be honest and she seemed to cut a kind of grotesque/comical figure. My guess is she was totally stupid and wide-open to manipulation and peer-pressure. I'll bet she would never have acted in such a manner in civilian life or maybe not even got into any real difficulties with the law back home.
War probably corrupted this woman and her friends back home apparently found it hard to believe when they saw her photos published worldwide.
Her partner, however, seemed to me to be a thoroughly nasty piece of work.
However the case may be, whoever gave the green light to these abuses did terrible damage to their country and put the lives of the troops in serious danger. Above all, any captured American POW's would stand little chance of human treatment as a result of the incidents.

If survival or death depends on maintaining that dominance, sadly we will stoop to dreadful depths and perform acts that we would not even consider in normal circumstances. Dominance is everything to military officers, even in relation to their own troups.

I don't know the tragic circumstances of this ugly incident, but I doubt that this woman would have done it completely of her own volition.

I think it highly likely that she would have been driven to it by both the war circumstance and orders of a superior. Wilfully disobeying an order in conditions or war is generally seen as abandoning duty and is not viewed kindly by any army other than perhaps the Salvation Army.

As for Iran acquiring the bomb; I would say it is inevitable.

Kind regards,

there are some other telling, er, attributes i have noted as well, such as a a woeful lack of any sense of irony, and the absence of an ability to grasp or express cynicism. these and other failings have repeatedly resulted in humour at the rodent cadet's own unwitting expense.

i may be jumping to conclusions here (gotta give the benefit of the doubt, i reckon) but when you chalk it all up, childlike naivete seems the primary theme of said rodent posting.

I am aware of the CD title.

There are many people who live in your country and other stable and secure countries around the world who are capable of acting like an adult.

Never mind. I'm sure you don't like Nirvana. Your probably more of a George Michael or Elton John kinda chap.

I am 36. I do admit I am a bit childish at times. I guess it's cuz I live in such a stable and secure country that allows me to act the way I wish. LOL
