Like I said I don't necessarily agree with their actions, but surely this does put a different take on matters.

They were requested to goof around and take photographs of themselves having a laugh with the prisoners? Talk about damning with faint praise. If that is the case then the superior who ordered those actions should be court-martialled as well.
But let's face it, that's all spin and BS in an attempt to try and claw back from the position the army currently finds itself in. Here's a little logical problem for you to try out. You say that the troops had been requested to perform these acts. One of the soldiers involved has gone on record to say that the reason that they had performed these acts is because they had *no* instructions from their superior, so they were too retarded to realise that this was not an acceptable course of action (what they were doing in the army in the first place I don`t know, I wouldn`t trust them to flip a burger). There would seem to be a discrepancy between the various stories being thrown around.
