Honestly, if commissioner Stern and the NCAA believe that student athletes aren't mature enough to go pro at age 18, and they should at least obtain some education before going off to the "real world". Why are we sending these kids off to a foreign country to enact the foreign agenda at age 18, and even prepping some of them from age 16-17?
Pretty damn terrible. I don't think it is like Abu Grahaib much. That was a situation where it seemed the entire chain of command had some culpability. This is an example of a small group of deranged individuals doing something horrific and trying to get away with it without the chain of command finding out. These guys do not represent the Army as a whole.
...Then they come home and become police officers and kill and frame for sport here
I don't recall the specifics of Abu Grahib, but it seems to me that was a situation that involved humiliation of prisoners, not actual physical torture or killing. To me, that's a different sort of sadistic behavior, but maybe I'm just splitting hairs. There is some similarity though in the way it was done for "entertainment" value. And while I haven't finished the article, it does seem as though there was some lax oversight in the chain of command in this situation as well.
