In order to make a nation powerful, is it justified to torture the minorities or the poor civilians of other nations? Why are those people being punished, who have nothing to do with the cold war going on between nations?

According to an Army report, “Less than half of Soldiers and Marines believed that non-combatants should be treated with dignity and respect and more than one-third of U.S. soldiers in Iraq believed that torture should be allowed if it helps gather important information about insurgents. Four in ten said they approve of such illegal abuse if it would save the life of a fellow soldier”.

According to an official survey done in Iraq, about ten percent of the troops ill-treated the innocent civilians in Iraq for no reasons. People were kicked and their possessions damaged unnecessarily.

There were reports of civilians being imprisoned. They were brutally tortured and killed mercilessly.

Being in army does mean that one should protect the nation but, does it also mean that one gets the right to treat anyone the way one wants?

However, the acting Army surgeon general, Maj. Gen. Gale S .Pollock, said,” What the report speaks to is the leadership that the military is providing, because they're not acting on those thoughts.” Casting the report as positive news, she stated,” They're not torturing the people."

The human rights activists, however, find the results distressing. Talking about the illegal activities of the U.S. military personnel in Iraq, Steven R. Shapiro, national legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union stated, "They highlight a failure to adequately train and supervise our soldiers."

One study also suggested that the more frequently soldiers are deployed, the longer they are deployed each time. Also, if they spend less time at home, they are very likely to suffer from mental health problems such as trauma, anxiety and depression.

The soldiers should be given breathers during combat tours. Intervals of 18 to 36 months between such tours will be quite helpful.

After the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal in 2004, military officials did seek to boost troops' awareness of ethical issues.

It is high time that the Army training should start placing more emphasis on army values, battlefield ethics, behavioral health awareness and suicide prevention.
