Standard Operating Procedure

Put a hood over a man’s head make him stand barefoot on small box and tie wires too both his hands and make him believe if he steeps off the box, he will be electrocuted. Cuff a person, naked, in a very uncomfortable position, again hooded. You are also made to pee and defecate all over yourself. For the US army, this isn’t considered torture, it’s Standard Operational Procedure. I tend to believe that typically there are two types of person in the army: the stupid ones that just follow orders and the intelligent ones; those who can give (and get away with) almost any order."He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." Einstein So, what really happened at Abu Ghraib? Call it human stupidity and it’s probably going on right now in Guantanamo bay and elsewhere. Good eye opener, 8/10.
