Contents of these articles all very sad and unfortunately part of how the army runs things - perhaps a classic example Joe Conason could use in his book (It Can Happen Here: Authoritarianism in this day and age).
To save your injured soldiers, maybe your commanders could look to Fiji, whose military force is renowned for its peacekeeping duties under the United Nations. Boredom may have pushed these highly skilled, experienced soldiers over the edge, ousting a democractically-elected govenment last December.
The US could recruit and send our soldeirs to Iraq. The US saves face and meets its targetted manpower on the ground without forcing your injured soldiers and saves ordinary Fijians' day by returning governance to those who should be running our government instead of gun-toating, trigger-happy, soldiers.
Whatever happens, I hope they make findings of their "investigations" available to Salon; they should allow this wonderfully informative series a dignified "La Fin"
