Answer 1

Because those Americans have been brainwashed by the Bush administration--into believing that we brought democracy to Iraq, and everything is peachy-keen.

As such, they won't accept anything else.

Answer 2

First of all you should re-word you question to just plain american bashing because that is all it is. Anyway at least get your facts straight most americans know what is going on there its our media that is making the war a political nightmare. The US went to war with Saddam to enforce a UN resolution on WMD's nothing more. His own generals even admited they thought he had them. Any of the worlds militaries have some bad soldiers that do things wrong, the only difference is at least we are open about it and that soldier was punished he is spending the rest of his life behind bars anything over 100 years would be a waste of time since he probably wont live that long anyway most people in prison dont like child molestors so his life expectancy would be short. If your going to bash us at least get your facts straight.

Answer 3

Lets put it this way.

By and large any war will have soldiers in the service who are not fit for duty or whom will do bad things or are unbalanced in any number of ways. PFC Lindie England etc.

However what this war will demonstrate is that there has been an INEXCUSABLE abuse of the military on the behalf of the Civilian leadership.

Specifically, there are several instances of continued failure or just plain disregard for those serving in the line of fire, on the part of the "Decider" in chief and his crew.

1. Overextension of our volunteer forces. The military manuals pertinent to overseas service state that no matter how mentally sincere and committed the soliders are. That serious stress (alcholism, family disintegration, mental problems, suicidal tendencies, drug abuse, family abuse, sexual abuse, prostitution etc) become problematic after more than one "live-fire" tour extension.

Many of today's soldiers are on their 3rd or 4th tour of duty and experience regular tour extensions (typically 3) per tour of duty.

This is INEXCUSABLE on the part of the civilian leadership right here because it breeds most of the incidental violence/abuse that soldiers may commit against civilians, prisonsers, other soldiers or themselves.

2. Failure to institute a draft or other conscription service to relieve the obvious stress upon the military personel.

The delusional belief under which the administration functioned until this year or so that only 70,000 to 100,000 troops might be necessary at all.

3. Retention of and recruitment of individuals with "less than stellar" mental health histories.

4. Encouragement of "ambiguity" with regard to the rules of engagement and detention of prisoners of war.

5. Reclassification of prisoners of war as defined by the Geneva Convention as "combative human squirrels with guns and stuff" or however they are trying to "define" POW's this week so the administration's associates can torture them.

6. Refining torture as somehow a "careful" and "useful" technique for obtaining information.

7. Extrajudicial and extraordinary "rendition". When people-of-interest are just grabbed of the street somewhere on Earth to be subjected to #5 and #6.

In the recent political climate had any one of these tactics been done under the auspices of a Democratic President, their head would be hanging from the Halls of the Congress by now.

Any one of the conditions which have prevailed at Abu Gharib or Guantanamo would have complelled a responsible Congress or Executive branch to reform the detention system at the very least, this did not occur until the internal Pentagon judicial reviews "over-rode" the abuses taking place through the Chain of Command.

It took the the unprecedented activitiy (on the part of the US Army and Navy's Judge Advocate General's) office to essentially over-ride the administration and force investigations into the irregularities which have been consistently encouraged by the administration by making the rules seem "less than clear" or "subject to interpretation".

It got so ridiculous that when Donald Rumsfeld actually started mentioning that the "rules of detention" and "torture" were "unclear" that the US needed a degree of "flexability" that one of his own general staff, was asked the same question after Mr. Rumsfeld finished in the same interview and said that "No...quite clearly the Geneva Convention and the Military Code of Conduct would apply in all circumstances, and torture would therefore be forbidden.".

If it haddened happened on television you can bet it would have been like it never happened at all.

And shortly thereafter it became clear in the Pentagon that there was high level support and potentially some real momentum to clean up the situation on the ground for the USMC and Army.

So now we are just left with the structural personnel problems, which still suck badly and will perhaps permanently damage the military morale and esprit d'corps of the forces of the United States.

Answer 4

Obviously not. I say that because I know what you are talking about. I watch documentaries, I have Pakistani and Indian friends who have family over in the middle east who know a lot about the war. I have friends in the military and they can tell you, many of those solders are not saints, they kill innocent people, and even though at times they may think they need to, a lot of times, it's a revenge thing for like losing a solder in a battle. The thing to me is, people here in America need to stop defending our country's innocence, which is, we aren't. We are taking those people's oil and trying to run their country, instead of letting them deal with their own policies. Many of those Iraqi people want our freedom, so that is why they had us help them over throw Saddam. We get involved in others mess that we don't even deal with our own. Like avoiding Hurricanes like Katrina, poverty, crime, etc. Bush was supposed to have our troops find Bin Laden, not start some personal affair his dad started years back with Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. And now because of this stupid turning point, Americans have been beheaded, torched on fire, and innocent Iraqi civilians have been blown up by U.S. missiles, kids losing their parents and their lives. It's a sad war!

Answer 5

Actually Private contractors are doing most of the torture, as there is no law that governs them and the secret prisons. The American soldiers from Abu Graib were left hanging...they were following specific orders from Donald Rumsfeld stating they should be treated like dogs....They did what they saw the Private contractors doing...then sent to jail as scape goats..this is how GWB supports the troops.

Answer 6

If you would look at the numbers before you try and paint a broad stroke over the military

The number of tropps who have been charged with such crimes is about 1/10,000th of the troop force that has been in Iraq.
thats 1% of 1%...the other 99.99% are doing thier job and are helping the people of Iraq gain freedom they would have otherwise never known.
Look at more than jus tthe drive by tragedy media. Good news that happens here in the states seldom makes the air, do you really think good news from Iraq is going to, especially with the liberal bias on news.

Answer 7

Most Americans do not say this. They say we went into Iraq for WMD's, which is also false.

We went into Iraq to enforce the cease fire after the Gulf War. The reason why we had to act immediately was to make sure he did not get nukes.

Hillary Clinton makes this argument here

There are a few that did bad things of the hundreds of thousands. You should be thankful there is one less evil dictator that wants to kill us and you certainly need to thank the people who die for your right to bash them

Answer 8

What exactly is your political question? You have made a blanket statement of tragic and terrible but isolated incidents.

Answer 9

because most of americans are like sheep.They will follow any leader as long as he tells them to.When the prices of gas went up people had a lot to say but when it comes to killing innocent they rather run to their little holes

Answer 10

Watch the news more and you will see that your statement has flaws.
