I am so sick and tired of the whining, “poor baby” stories of Lynndie England!
How she can’t find a job.
How she’s oh-so persecuted.
How everyone hates her.
How strangers point and whisper about her.
Wah! Wah! Wah!
Lemme ‘splain something to your inbred ass, you pig! You committed a crime. You and that disgusting swine of a boyfriend of yours singlehandedly put a huge dent into the reputation of the United States Army. You dishonored the uniform. You disgraced the United States. You violated Army regulations, and you splattered a big, black stain on the Armed Forces.
I don’t give a shit if you were just following orders. So were the Nazis. I don’t give a shit if you were unhappy, depressed or tired. It didn’t give you the right to humiliate your prisoners. You were there as an admin. It was not your job to interrogate them, take them for walks on a leash or laugh at their pathetic genitalia, while dangling a cigarette from your foul mouth. You were not following orders. Orders such as that were meant to be questioned as illegal, and we, in the Armed Forces, have a duty to question illegal orders. We are all trained ad nauseam on rules of engagement, on treatment of prisoners, and on Geneva Conventions. If you’re too stupid to understand that what you did was wrong, you’re too stupid to serve.
While admitting she made some bad decisions, England says it wasn’t her
place to question the “softening-up” treatments sanctioned long before
she arrived.
Yeah, actually it WAS your place, you stupid cow. As a Soldier in the United States Army, it is your place and duty to disobey an illegal order – law either has no valid military purpose or
contravenes existing law, obeying the order may expose the person to
prosecution. An illegal order is just that – illegal – and prisoner abuse has no valid military purpose. And ferpetessake! You weren’t even given a direct order! Nothing in the official investigation found that you were ordered to humiliate prisoners. If you’re too stupid to understand that, you’re too stupid to serve.
So no. I don’ t feel sorry for you. I don’t care if you apologized. The world looked at our courageous Soldiers like they were noxious dirtbags because you and your boyfriend refused to think, refused to act like responsible Soldiers and chose, instead, to humiliate the rest of us with your antics.
So stop whining in the media about how you’re mistreated. You deserve it.

I don’t feel sorry for her, either, but I think the whole story got much too much air time, and I’m seriously offended at Bush’s response to it. The story broke at the same time Nick Berg was beheaded. But Bush said hardly a word about Berg. Bush was obviously much more concerned about Muslim terrorists being humiliated than he was about a man being tortured to death by having his head cut off slowly while he screamed his life out, simply for being Jewish. Sorry, I think there was a serious misplacement of emphasis here.

I wonder how she would do as an exotic dancer?

Um. Ew!

Mark, while I agree with the misplacement of priorities here, Abu Ghraib wasn’t just about some Islamic terrorists being beheaded. It was about a few shitbags painting a big, dark stain on all Soldiers, and I’m fairly sure, endangering the lives of our guys even more than usual. Once this story broke, it gave the Muslim scum yet more targets for their impotent rage – our forces!And in all fairness, the Abu Ghraib scandal broke in January 2004, and was part of an ongoing investigation since 2003, while the Nick Berg atrocity took place five months later in May. I don’t think it was a matter of one or the other, but rather of a disparity in responses. I can only guess that the administration focused more on something that it could remedy, so to speak.

After reading the post and then the article, it sounds like the only career she may be qualified for is “politician”.

She needs to be stripped of her citizenship and deported. I’d even consider a law-abiding Iraqi in trade.

Hell, I’d consider a well-mannered goat in trade.

A biography and a book tour? The fuck? Who does she think she is? And while I agree with you 100%, I am sick to the teth of people who confuse Gitmo with Abu Ghraib, as though one has anything to do with the other – and the president is deliberately confusing the two by mentioning the pictures in the same sentence as the EITs. People are so fucking stupid.
