I have not read all the posts, but the old saying "two wrongs don't make a right" apply's, being a NZ'er I donot automatically think all the US Military are bad , it is a few who have spoilt the good name of the US forces, and they should and will be duly punished.

We always heard about the Japanese and the cruelty they endured upon our British soldiers etc, but did we ever hear or know for sure what happened in their camps.

I donot condone any of this behaviour, and was as shocked as the rest of you, on viewing this sad state of affairs.

But I know who I would turn to in times of need THE US FORCES, they saved our country once before, and I would hope like heck they would again.

YES SHAME ON THOSE who committed these crimes, but let us not judge the rest of the US FORCES by their behaviour, it is sad that the iraqi people will hate them even more because of this.
