that's like saying ted bundy's parents are responsible for training him while he was growing, and are therefore responsible for his actions when they were done.

Not really.

All this does is show that training has been apparently a dismal failure.. in more ways than one.

Ok so the troops went on a mission and did not leave enough troops there to protect the base. Yes this is quite the embarassment but I can see the thought of the iraqi troops. It was their base and prolly didn't think their countrymen would loot the base.

i see. so their training in shooting guns and military operations was also a training on morals and ethics?

I dont see why this is suprising. When you have 70% inflation and ridiculous unemployment... shit like this happens.

So tell us, is this one of those shining examples of "progress" being made in Iraq?

What does that have to do with the fact that the IRAQI CITIZENS were the ones looting ?

I thought we were turning them into a democracy?
Wouldn't morals and ethics go along with moving into a civilized country?
