I've been doing some interning at a place called the Peace and Justice Center in Santa Rosa, California that specializes in getting soldiers out of their enlistment contracts. So far the center has gotten like 850 (There is an exact count that's pretty close to that) soldiers out of their contracts and the stuff they say is a lot worse then that. Seriously, it's evil but most of these people who go over there are getting messed up in the head. This shouldn't really surprise anyone really. Throw kids into a war zone and stuff like this happens. Not defending anyone but it's the reality of the situation.
Unfortunately, you're absolutely right. There's no telling how much shit far worse than this gets swepped under the rug.
