With no real leadership the military loses their integrity and tortures Iraqi's.

On a normal day I was on shift in a PUC tent. When we got these guys we had them sandbagged and zip tied, meaning we had a sandbag on their heads and zip ties [plastic cuffs] on their hands. We took their belongings and tossed them in the PUC tent. We were told why they were there. If I was told they were there sitting on IEDs [Improvised Explosive Devices, homemade bombs] we would fuck them up, put them in stress positions or put them in a tent and withhold water.

To “Fuck a PUC” means to beat him up. We would give them blows to the head, chest, legs, and stomach, pull them down, kick dirt on them. This happened every day.

What I want back from this fucking administration is my right to feel proud of my country again. When I think about the role of America in the world today I feel ashamed. I did not feel ashamed during the Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, or Clinton administration. This is the first time since Vietnam that I have been embarrassed at my country's conduct. I want my national self-esteem back!
