Why are we debating **** like this? What the **** is there to debate about it. All this thread is for, is a so liberal can kick the military in the teeth and that is all it's for. Tell me what's here to discuss.
There is nothing debatable here. It seems to me that the main intent of the OP is to demonize the US military.
This is a political forum and this is a big news story with political consequences, isn't that enough to start a thread?
The only part of the OP that could be construed as criticism of the military is this: I don't know which bit is the worst part. The idea the photos were attempted to be hidden by the US or the apology only came when they got leaked.
Is the OP wrong in saying that the military attempted to hide the photos and/or that the apology only came after the story has leaked?
If the OP is wrong, then show that it is wrong and clear the criticisms against the Military's handling of this situation.
If it is correct, then it's valid criticisms of the US military. If valid criticism base on fact is "demoniz[ing]" then the military essentially gets a free-pass with no accountability. The people at the top needs to learn that when something goes wrong, hidding them from the public (who they are supposed to work for) is not okay. There's a small group within any organisation that might do wrong, own up to that fact without being forced to by the media and learn from it.
