Re: A nice picture
I think the most difficult job over there at this time would be to be a guard. They have to be compassionate yet strict, give sustinence yet not get into favours, keep security high yet not abusive, most of all they must keep theitr charges safe.<br />In all the media coverage I have not seen any attempt to see things any differently than from the oppressed side. Now stop right there if you think I even sympathise with the enemy, I just would like to have a say for the guards that have no time for these tragic events.<br />To guard people that are accused with awful atrocities must be difficult. To guard those with strictly religiouse views very opposed to your own must be very difficult also. To be a female placed in the guard situation over a people who place women well below men must be likewise very difficult. It is obvious from this persons perspective that this abuse was planned and controlled from within the units that are positioned there. The idea is to "break" the enemy. It would take longer for the "Stockholm Syndrome" to kick in so they resort to these terrible acts. Believe me the enemy has no compassion for their prisioners, indeed I hear today on the radio they have the video of an enemy sawing the head off an American, the army also have the body. Who's going to prosecute for that one.<br />My view, dissapointing as it is there must be a clear message to the guards to lay off and stop the abuse. If not for their own sake (years to come there will be a cost to them personally), then for the greater good of the army units fighting over there. The retaliation will be very severe from the enemy otherwise.<br />Ross
