Thanks for the ping.

A friend told me the other day that her daughter believes the culture those soldiers grew up in is so debased that she is not surprised they did what they did.

And isn't there a school where they were teaching 5 year olds about fisting??

And yet the Dems up on the Hill as shocked about these pictures
