Those who have read my blog,
The Command T.O.C., have known for over 2 years that I am on a crusade to fix the Army that Rumsfeld is in the process of destroying. Donald Rumsfeld destroyed the Army in the waning days of Vietnam and he is doing it again.
Today I blog about the ever increasing incidents of rape, torture and murder that it appears our soldiers are committing in Iraq. It is disgraceful. What is more disgraceful is when I hear people say that "soldiers are people too" and they make excuses for it. Well, there is only one excuse for it and that is poor leadership, a poor mission, and continuing to lower standards just to get enough people to join.
Today, I blogged on my site about this situation as it currently is manifesting itself (To see all the included links, go to the report here):
Oops, I guess the Army wishes they had this back. Thanks to Today in Iraq, we learn that the Army had highlighted PFC Steven Green of the 101st as "Keeping The Streets Safe in Iraq" on their Public Affairs (PAO) site (I will link but I am sure soon it will be taken down).
One minor problem as this is the same PFC Green who is now being charged with the rape of an Iraqi woman in this complaint here.
If that damn New York Times would stop reporting the truth maybe we could go through all this and not have the American public know our "secrets"! If we only could have just PAO announcements and no independent press, think how "great" this war would be going!
Even if the NYT backs down, thank God we have Blogs such as Today in Iraq to bring us truth!
