Somehow this one stuck out. There were many horrible crimes against children but this really upset me. Republican Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorized the rape of children in Iraqi prisons in order to humiliate their parents into providing information about the anti-American insurgency. So we have people in our Armed Forces that were ordered to rape children by the Sec. of Defense. This is not OK. just because it was war. Never.

But the pillaging is kinda pointless with out the raping to break the moral of the constituents being conquered and ruled over.

Wait...

I mean fight fire with fire?

Nope, not it...

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition?

I give up,...

War is shit. This terrible stuff has been going on since the dawn of man, and I do mean since we left the apes. But now, we the first world, tries to have a moral compass when passing judgement on what goes on during war. Fuck man, there people are trying to kill each other because your not putting your tea cosy where it belongs, and it is about ready to come to a head over privileges and soci-economic status in the US, under the guise of a race war. If and when things do start to crack in the USofA it will be ugly. When you stir all the food in the same pot it ends up looking like shit but nutritious enough to keep you alive. You cannot have something look pleasing and be heterogeneous too.

If some really rotten Army guys raped a few children, then they should be punished. But for someone in MY govt. actually ordering the rape of children is unconscionable. I have read some horrors that happened in Vietnam that our soldiers did and I still cant get it out of my mind. I have cried some nights just thinking about it. We do not need war.

We do have a thing known as war crimes. This is America, not Nazi Germany. I am going to research this. If it's true I'm going to be one pissed off you know what...

I think we should. I want this to be wrong, but knowing Rumsfeld, I would not be surprised.
