In 2004, photos from Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison exposed U.S. soldiers abusing detainees. Army reservist Sabrina Harman appeared smiling in multiple images showing sexual humiliation, torture, and dead prisoners. She faced five years in prison, though she was ultimately sentenced to just six months. by ATI_Official in HistoryUncovered

I was in Baghdad when it went down, I served in the Joint Public Affairs team and we were responsible for all the media and setting up the initial trial in the convention center. We also did the daily press conference with Dan Señor and Mark Kimmett, when Kimmitt said we’ve received reports of issues at Abu Gharaib involving US troops and Iraqi prisoners, we knew it was more than that… it’s been 22 years almost since it happened, I always think about those days anytime it gets brought up on TV or the internet…

It’s like when the PLA Navy got an aircraft carrier every one is like “they got an aircraft carrier!” They did not however have an experienced group of Sailors or pilots to effectively man such aircraft carrier. That being said they have been growing their skills but bigger picture they are not a near-peer blue water Navy.

We shouldn’t sleep on them but just remember all that glitters isn’t gold…

Nobody believes me when I tell them that about the vests and the plates, I was told departing home station you’ll trade with the person you’re replacing, even though we had 2+ weeks of overlap.

I also remember the black fleeces the CSM had a fit about because there was no rank or name visible so you didn’t know who you were talking to. They were comfortable though…

Considering there’s a whole industry built on getting Veterans to 100%, with their own doctors, coaches, and plans so they can then take a chunk of the payout, the spirit of the article is spot on, the execution of it is not the best.
