I don't have time now but I will try to fix this tomorrow. Until then sorry if this post seems a little confusing.

It really provides a nice counter to those who see the military as the place for those who have no other options, instead of a meaningful and rewarding profession. I would like to see you keep going, though. Reflect on these feelings of and revenge in light of the larger conversations we have been having in class with regard to how the US prosecuted the War on Terror after 9/11. Also, proof read your posts. You have some careless typos and misspellings. The blog post tool bar has a spellchecker. Katie, thanks for this personal reflection on our class conversation.

Be more specific when referencing Sageman's argument and how it applies to England's actions. I also wanted to hear more about how Sageman might be used as a frame for reading/interpreting the Abu Ghraib scandal and the documentary. This would make for a fascinating essay. Alas, you're still having some problems with typos and misspellings. Please, please proofread and use spellcheck! Again, solid post, but not as thorough as your previous one.

Keep this level of engagement with specific moments/arguments in the readings up throughout your blog posts and your other assignments and you will do well in this class and beyond. The downside is that you have several careless typos and misspellings. Please use the spellcheck in the blog post window; that will go a long way to eliminating these mistakes.

If this is true, then how did the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal happen? Why didn't the soldiers involved assert that what they observed and/or what they were being asked to do was wrong?
