I suspect the Pentagon will use this story to propel their contention that
the Abu Graib torture was indeed perpetrated by low ranking soldiers and a
female general with a shoplifting record.
In terms of the story - when it fits somebody's purposes - the Military
obviously - unlike with gay soldiers - has a "do tell" policy. I wonder how
this story may or may not change the recruiting crisis in the military. Any
lonely kid in America can join the military and imagine live in his/her own
Peyton Place. Definitely great "trash fiction"!
