I don't think your English is very good and, I am going to check your page. Are you writing to us from the Middle East somewhere? You should write a letter to Donald Rumsfeld, and ask him these questions. Nobody here on Yahoo can change anything our Government does to other Countries, and their people.

I'm a Marine who fought in Iraq.  I'm out now, but you could say I'm lonely in a much different way.  After returning to civilian life, few people understand life in the military, let alone a war.  They don't know what it's like to be shot at, to be the hunter, to be the prey.  It's hard to relate to people sometimes.  But, best to our troops that are fighting the fight now, and for their fight to come.

It is a shame actually that in many cases prisoners are getting larger accomidations and more ammenities than the average soldier in a military barracks.\n\nI say, once they are convicted, have them doing all kinds of duties. Hard labor, intense cell cleaning each day, basic training type work hours, etc. Chain gangs would be good to have more frequent again.\n\nNow don't get me wrong. Those convicted of minor crimes that will be out in relatively short amounts of time should have jobs to possibly teach them a skil to be employed on the outside. Rehabilitate, but not in some easy or pansy way.

I don't think you can. Wouldn't you get blown up for being an infidel?

I suppose you would be...but why would you want to?  Nearly everyone is "normal".  Normal is boring.  Normal people do not make history and they are never talked about on the news.  No one should ever have to conform to "normal".

Like the muslims getting prayer rugs and korans care of us dollars while they sling their body waste at our military men and women.Do our prisoners get lemon peppered chicken for their meals?Thats why it sickens me for people to think they are so ill treated.Shoot the stuff they did with the so called torture,my brothers did worse things to me when I was a kid.Good question.

I would stand and fight because if I was to run I would be running for ever, but by going to prison for 10 years even if innocent  I would be freeing myself in the end. stay get punished for only 10 years run and you will get punished for life

OMFG!!!   I Wish I had too much time on my hands, I am a Combat Medic serving in Iraq right now, near Ramadi, We are constantly busy doing something, granted yes, we have enough time to rest and relax, but in the grand scheme of things we are in a very high tempo area, everything from 1-2 patrols a day, or an 8 hour shift on an observation post (thats our "down time") maybe sitting in overwatch positions for 24-48 hours... I could go on and on about the things we do here, but to simply answer your question, NO!! we deffinatly do NOT have too much time on our hands!!

I would show no mercy and I would take prisoners only under very specific circumstances.  War is a nasty business folks.\n\nIt would be a massive hunting exercise and special forces would play a critical role.  I would also ignore the ridiculous rants of anti-American types, especially those from that joke they call the U.N.\n\nI would not be running a popularity contest.  History would be the best judge of whether my decision was correct, not political hacks and others with ulterior motives.

as you would treat a fellow human being.

Absolutely, and in a Public forum. Televise it as well as injections, electrocutions, and gas chambers. I would take it a step further. If guilt is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, they should bring back beheading. I'll bet crime would be diminished drastically. Why should we support these bastards, and pay for their education in prison? I'm with you pal! Sometimes you have to ask and answer the hard questions.

S**T that what ever happened to Innocent until proven guilty in the USA. If there has been no charges made to those service men. There is no way they should be in chains and kept from seeing their family. Now if they had been charged things might be different. While those S**ts in Gitmo get all their daily requirements to make them feel better. By those so called HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS. A fine bunch of Hypocritical Two-faced Head up their A**ses. Do gooders. For the Human rights of Murderers and Terrorists. I also am disappointed in the Republican Government for allowing those Service men to be treated that way. When it was the said Government that sent them over there in the first place. They should get of their big well paid arses and do something positive for once.

i am a big supporter of our military but if they commit cold murder, they should face the punishment. war is a stressful place but we cant allow ourselves to be criminals.

On the one hand having him alive always leaves the opportunity for one of his buddies to kidnap someone in return for his release (not that anyone would release him) but if alive there's always the chance.  On the other hand we have the opportunity for him be a martyr - given his recent testimony that is exactly what he wants.  Could we have him dress him like a little girl, give him a huge roommate that likes to "cuddle," and pipe in "You light up my life" by Debbie Boon day and night?  What are the good people of Abu Ghraib doing these days?

no way.  we are over there trying to be the good guy and help the iraqis and then they see that.  it makes them hate us and makes more enemies for us.  the prisons over there are supposed to be run like they would in the US, and that would not happen over here without a HUGE outrage.  i used to be an MP in the army and i am VERY ashamed of those MPs that did that.  it was wrong.
