Last week, some well meaning and articulate posters on this board pointed out how leftists expressing views like this and this and some very hateful things on Indymedia by no means represented the Left as a whole. OK, I'll accept that.
By the same token, those who are charged with mistreating Iraqi prisoners by no means represent US military personnel as a whole. They are a small handful of people who, at best, will be in search of a new career and could quite likely could be facing jail time. They won't come through this unscathed, and that is how it must be. The military is held to a pretty high standard for good reason. The sad fact that a small number of people fell short of that standard shouldn't be used to bash the tens of thousands of good people currently serving over there.
