Ive noticed youre pretty bad at stating your political opinions. **Clarification** Im not saying youre stupid or anyting , in general most people are bad at stating political opinion.
Since I just debated over this a few hours ago, Im a little fatigued. Ill copy and paste a post that summarizes my argument

So you dont quote the rest of my post and then continue to argue with the same reasoning I was arguing against? Dishonorable discharge? These soldiers will most likely cost American Lives at some point , these soldiers have alone destroyed DECADES of work to mend US-Arab relations , these soldiers have further cemented Arab opinion that the United States is evil , these soldiers have destroyed too much work to get away with only a dishonorable discharge. I would pull the trigger myself.
On a more reasoned note, Im not so sure that the high-command knows about this. There is no reason to piss on prisoners , it doesnt garner any information. Although I figured United States soldiers would be reasonable enough not to do this deplorable [censored], so Im not sure how much confidence I should have in the commanders. However , as commanders they are likely reasonably intelligent , they know how wrong this is , and it gains nothing for them; that is to say nothing of the moral values most Americans have.
Why does this reflect upon all Americans , and America in general? I live in America , in the center of America. We dont piss on people or shove chem lights up eachothers asses. Most Americans are moral people , and sensible people. This is the case of a group of [censored] up soldiers in a war zone going hog wild. War [censored] people up, during all modern wars soldiers have done things which would normally be unthinkable; however this should not be an excuse , merely a tiny rationalization
PS- Mr.Fari, I said nothing of what the Arab view would be , I would not expect it to be too rational given historical precedent. However , I would expect a westerner , and likely an American or European to react with a tiny shread of rationality, however Hangly did not.
