Troops Bracing for Backlash

Everyone is getting ready for the release of these pictures of detainees being mistreated. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.13d3a2fbfc306c176c00483f74ae99a8.1291&show_article=1

It's like basic training, when one guy messes up, everyone gets punished. We were in Iraq when Haditha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haditha_killings broke, and the retaliation was evident and aimed at soldiers who had nothing to do with the wrong doing.

I remember it like it was yesterday; a group of us were sitting in our make shift chow hall watching the Armed Forces network when the anchor began laying out the killings in Haditha. We all looked at each other and began lament the backlash that we were sure was to come. Backlash is a mild way to put it. It was more like a tidal wave. Hopefully we don't get more of that.
