My previous post about Mel Gibson naturally turned my thoughts to the current Iraqi prison scandal.
Many of those who gravitate toward our nation's military are southern, Christian, and conservative. Most of them would vote against the legalization of gay marriage. Most would oppose any effort to end anti-gay discrimination in the military.
What do the photos and reports coming out of Iraq say about these good Christian folk?
Prisoners have been paraded naked in front of cameras. They've been forced to pile up on top of each other while naked. They've been sodomized with broomsticks. They've been led around on leashes like dogs. (A common theme in fetish pornography, that.) Male detainees have been forced to engaged in simulated and non-simulated sex acts.
And that's not the worst of it. According to Seymour Hersh (as seen on Bill O'Reilly), "There are videotapes of stuff that you wouldn't want to mention on national television that was done... There were young boys in there. There were things done to young boys that were videotaped. It's much worse."
One American MP even flounced around the prison showing off his muscles to detainees!
Next time I meet a good ol' boy from Kentucky or Texas who sees fit to lecture me about Jayzuss Crass and love of the flag and upholding the military virtues, I'll just smirk -- because I now know his true motivations.
Bush shouldn't send these lads overseas. Obviously, they belong in West Hollywood.
"Onward Christian soldier
Marching as to war
He wears chains and leather
He'll make you his whore..."
