I suggest everyone remembers the term "innocent until proven guilty". At this point, they are only accusations that have NOT been proven to be fact. Also, IF they are guilty, they do not represent the entire military. It's possible there are just a few bad ones who did something for whatever reason the stress of war brought them. It doesn't make it right, but until the entire story is out and they are proven guilty without a reasonable doubt, we'll never really know.

The Military Had To Recruit A Large Number Of People,They Had To Lower The Enlistment Standards ,Thats How These Bottom Feeders Got In.They Would have and raped and killed US citizens Had they not Been In Iraq.One Bad Apple Don't Make The Whole Basket Bad.

we just really don't know what is going on there...we don't know if women were telling the truth..or having sex and then, knowing it was against their religion, crying rape...I am sorry that any of our service men are having to be tried for anything..and if they are guilty, that is a damn shame. I know that if they WERE"NT there, what kind of a mess we'd be in. These people, our enemies, are vicious animals, and would kill any one of us in a heartbeat. These people, what they did to the kurds, is horrible. I have a friend who is a Kurd, and he told me of the horror of the Iraqi military under Sadam's regime. He told me, the soldiers, at any given time, would go to the houses, rape the children and wives, and made the father/husband watch..then, pilage the house, take all their jewelry, cars, etc money, and as a token of their visit, decapitate the fathers head and place it on the yard...then leave and go to the next house. Animals...I really would have to hear the actual court case. I did not get upset at the so called torture photos of the prisoners at Abu...these criminals, were of the same ilk that tortured the Kurds...child molesters, etc. The few that did get convicted, are and do not represent the awesome men and women who are there, willingly defending us so we can ask questions like this on Yahoo. God Bless them, and God Bless the U.S.A.

Men that rape women are low lifes period. However to say all soldiers are lowlifes because of the actions of a few is narrow minded and wrong. Are all men in the world low life's because some rape women?

Anyone who rapes is a lowlife but why do you then use it to tar the name of your / our soldiers?
If an accountant rapes someone, would you then bother to ask a question on yahoo answers like "are accountants lowlifes for raping people"?
Of course you wouldnt, and that is because you are using someones truly awful misery to make a political point.

What about what they do to us. Americans ain't the only ones who rape. Look how many Americans have been raped by the iraqies. Are female soldiers that were cought. Bet they don't sleep at night. This is like saying your dad was a rapiest and so are you. Because you have his last name. Most soldiers are not bad people. And Dude you just need to grow up and open your eyes. Stop talking smack about everything you don't know sh@t about.

And how many from Saddam Hussein regime raped and killed innocent people? Not 10, but 10,000+. I think the Iraqi women are much safer now then before Our Soldiers went over there. Do your home work, because right now you really are showing how small your thinking really is. And it's the second time today.

The convictions are only the tip of the iceberg. Every invasion, since time immorable, the Invaders inflict their will by rapes of the invaded people. History is the proof.
Hatred of the enemy. miscovceived commands, risky dangerous
work,isolation of the family, all result in discharge of pent up fury,
by the action of rape.Everywhere in the world it happens,but very seldom it is reported. Only in extreme cases it is exposed.
The penetrators of the crime should be asked to let their siblings be raped by the the victims' kins. This only is final justice.

ok before you judge let me just say that your right nobody should do those things. But put yourself in there shoes have you ever seen that one movie where that guy rapes a crispy criter. or a dead burned women. War brings out sick stuff in us all. Some more sick then others. Whats sad is alot of these solders that go over there have to worry about there wifes or girlfriends cheating on them and they resort to jerking off alot. When does want become a need thats a fine line and they did wrong trust me but i wouldnt say low life only deprived and couldnt handle it

No, not all ten have been convicted, but I think it is actually 12 that has been charged....and yes, they are lowlife soldiers......though I can see, having served, that it might be hard to think in the heat of battle, so that innocents are killed, but we expect them to be better than that....and should not lower our standards
