Unfortunately I believe the enlisted folks will most definitely be "punished", whether that means jail time or not only a military courts martial can say. As far as the officers, well, I've seen too many instances of enlisted folks being treated one way and the officers being treated quite differently. In this I guess I'm with most of you. I don't know that any of the enlisted were "trained" to treat them that way. I do know that the enlisted folks are made well aware of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that forbids this type of thing and if they're over there they should have been trained on the Geneva convention so that they at least knew their rights should they be captured. It's operation cluster F**k for sure!
