I don't believe they should be able to try our soldiers in the prison scandals when it is so obvious that it was gov't or at least the brass' policy to get info out of these guys. They changed the handbook afterwards; that is an admission of guilt. It would make more sense to put Rumsfield on trial.
As for soldiers being tried for killing the very people that are killing them, this is a tricky one. It is natural for an American to question the motives and results of a person dying. This is why we brag about being a better society. I mean, we don't severe Islamist's heads, we don't murder ourselves while murdering others we don't know. But, in no way should we get away from murdering anyone, an Islamic life is = to a christian life. The folk that follow Bush blindly say that neahsayers should leave the country and that their words just help the enemy. Neahsayers are merely critiquing, which leaves the armed forces stronger; are we doing all we can. "Those that don't question what we're doing are just throwing their children into the bonfire." Doesn't that sound hypocritical.?
I want a progressive society, not a progressive government. A progressive government means that our society has failed us and is lazy.
