Those are the kind of people who make the rest of us look bad. And of course no one in the chain of command has been pegged with anything as of yet, even though they had ample warning signs they should have investigated. Much like the Fort Hood shooter, you let things start falling through the cracks, and then it blows up in your fucking face.

Yeh no shit, but hindsight is 20/20

Or like the Abu Graib thing (or however the F you spell it)

Much easier to pin it on a few "bad apples" in the lower ranks...... than to blame a mid/senior officer for it

Indeed. In both cases there were some bad apples... really sick, rotten apples... but the command should have known something.

what makes you look bad isn't the few bad apples; it's the upper ranks covering it up.

Point. Neither one helps matters.

Just finished reading that story.

I read this and am less concerned about hindsight than I am about foresight....looking forward to seeing these murderous animals punished in THE most malicious way possible.

Murdering a child in cold blood....and singled handedly destroying what is essentially a "hearts and minds" campaign?

Yeah...I'm not in the least bit concerned with them anymore....kill them and be done with it. Make an example out of them to whatever other pyschopaths are in our armed forces over there....and try to restore some credibility/faith with those Afghanis who haven't already completely written us off as the hypocritical lying shitbags that we are.
