More on the army
An article saying that 48% of all soldiers found the army worse than they expected with only 20% thinking it was better.
Another article regarding the unexplained deaths of four young soldiers within training, to which the army supports the deaths were suicide, something the families denied. One needs to bare in mind that a person commiting suicide is not doing it because he/she is in a jolly good environment filled with happiness and bliss. There's another article regarding the four "suicides" here. Further on it stands on an Amnesty International survey which revealed a number of 1,748 "non-natural" deaths since 1990.
Deepcut barracks which are also mentioned for their brutal, sadist initiation ceremonies they conduct have been brought to my attention by Peter, when he discovered some photographs that came out of naked soldiers fighting. The clever move by the mod to close down the deepcut barracks has been thought of as innapropriate before a decend enquiry has been conducted regarding the deaths of the soldiers. Another article mentions that one of the privates who commited suicide had two gunshots in the head. Perfectly natural, in the words of Frank Zappa, 'if you try suicide try getting it right the first time or else you'll be a suicide chump', maybe those were the words of the soldier when he realised that the first bullet didn't do the trick and had to shoot himself, AGAIN, IN THE HEAD, to die. Right.
A BBC cover shows that army bullying is a global problem. Maybe I should write my own experiences on it as well at a later stage.
Here is an article that covers torture and 'indecent acts' on Iraqi prisoners from the US army. A couple of years ago a friend brought me a documentary made by a Greek journalist where he interviewed Ali Shalal, the Iraqi prisoner whose photograph travelled the world, showing him standing on a box, wires on his hands and a bag on his head. I will post photographs from that documentary later on.
