This Is Why The Military Can Suck My Cock

Here is a lovely story about a Guantanamo training exercise gone wrong (via LA Times). Excerpts:

But the five-man MP “immediate response force” sent in to extract him was not told of the exercise. According to Baker’s lawyer, the soldiers were told that Baker was an unruly detainee who had been doused with pepper spray after assaulting a sergeant.

But the beating continued, according to Baker, until the jumpsuit was yanked down in the struggle, revealing his military uniform. Only then did the MPs realize that they had been beating an American soldier causing a traumatic brain injury, Baker alleges.

So apparently it’s ok to cause severe head trauma to the brown people, but if they’re white then it’s intolerable? Well according to the Geneva Convention:

Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest. (Convention III, Part II, Article 13, 12 August 1949)

Fuck them. Oh. Wasn’t my last post funny? Fucking hilarious I tell ya!
