Default Re: US Media Makes Me Ill

Just a quick note, at the moment, I have no access to a TV, and limited access to the internet. I don't get to see much of the news, but from what I've seen...

This is just a political mess. Oh no, an Iraqi had some wires strapped to his hand, God forbid. Unless they actually shocked the guy, they did nothing wrong. Are we honestly going to count-martial soldiers on the account of scaring the enemy? Maybe next time our MPs shouldn't be allowed to point weapons at the enemy, just in case they get scared and think they are going to be shot. You know, why even carry weapons?

And some naked Iraqi with a female around. You know, in the Arabic culture, that is really degrading. Then again, he has a sandbag over his head, he can't anyway.

Someone needs to chew their ass for being stupid enough to take pictures. As for the court-martial, yes, send them to court-martial, tell the media they're being sent to the brig, and the next day get them back on the job. Their only crime was stupidity, and that's a stretch, even for Article 134.
