32. Blame the government
Like I had said - Blame the government for putting these soldiers there!

The disgusting things that is going on in Iraq by our military comes from the highest ranking officer. It goes all the way to the president himself.

A reservist friend of mine put it this way - the highest ranking officer is responsible for knowing what the lowest ranking enlisted man is doing.

The raping and pillaging that is going on - wouldn't be going on if the government didn't sanction it. It is certainly turning a blind eye to it. Except of course when it became public. That is when the finger pointing started.

What is happening there is wrong, but I don't think it would be going on if our government knew what the hell it was doing in the first place.
