Ridgey whilst I probably agree with you in the main....
........one thing the Yanks have always tried to bargain with is their adherence to the rules.
Regardless of the rabble...in this world where action is often demanded...they have stated this is the way one should try and act as best one can.
To now have demonstrated this type of abuse at the prison means that they have taken a real hit in the world's eye and I think they have to throw someone substantial to the wolves to regain some position
As I said the other day...do it - but not at the expense of the security of the US or its fighting forces.
But yes...in the scheme of things whilst this stuff is humiliating and mainly psychological and for mine very very very disappointing
