Excellent post. Perfectly captyures the essence of the issue without getting bogged down in the bigger issue of how we should/do handle prisoners.

Excellent!

He was on TV this morning. He seemed very calm and reasoned and not tryng to grind an ax. Then again by his appearance on NBC news, I’m sure he has begun his transition out of the Army (one way or another….)

Until I learn more, I’m zip lip. His record demands respect. I know he has gone outside but I want to hear what he has to say

That being said I will offer this:

What the hell are forcible entry, shock troops like the 504th (my father’s unit in WWII) doing “handling” the enemy? Other than hooding and zip-tying, thay should have nothing more to do with their kills or captures….

Facinating – I thought the Army had an FM, AR or TM that either covered everything, or had some line in it that could be extended to cover everything… I love the part about “Demoocrat & Republican congressman….” I wonder if he bothered to ask a 95C? (that’s prison guard, btw)
