      Abu Ghraib

      Did US citizens really support it though?

      I feel like a lot of US warcrimes are done with the public being ignorant of them, while what’s remarkable to me is that so many people in Israel seem to support it.

        Well, at the very least war warped the minds of the soldiers, making them do horrible things and laugh about it.

        It all comes.downnto the politicians that push this war, and it’s narrative. With Abu Ghraib, the US citizens didn’t know about it, until they did and it became a scandal.

        I guess the difference here for the Israel citizens is that they are right smack in the middle of it. That doesn’t excuse it but does explain it
