Everything we have seen in these two wars, from the looting in Iraq, to Abu Grahib, to the bombing of "wedding parties" and yes, the murderous rampage of a sergent, were all "knowable" before we ever started. These things are as much a "part of war" as bullets and bombs. It's what we are "choosing" when we choose to go to war. About the only thing we haven't seen reported (yet) are stories of fragging of officers.
