US military in Iraqi torture scandal.
One of the soldiers, Staff Sgt Chip Frederick is accused of posing in a photograph sitting on top of a detainee, committing an indecent act and with assault for striking detainees - and ordering detainees to strike each other. He told CBS: "We had no support, no training whatsoever. And I kept asking my chain of command for certain things ... like rules and regulations."
Sounds like everything any military commander could want of a soldier, he has absolutely no concept of right and wrong beyond what he's told by a superior officer. In fifteen years time he'll probably be jobless, massively obese and probably just snap one day in a convenience store with a semi-automatic.
