Isn't there some council for human rights in the US army that warns and prevents such situations where people are extremely likely to torture and abuse other people?
That's exactly what I'm talking about. So you know about this phenomenon, but the high-ranking officers in charge evidently never heard of it. I don't know the answer to that question, but evidently not. That's bad enough, but what's worse is the torture that is planned and approved of.
