I was among the first military families with children to be allowed to be posted with my father in Japan after the war. I saw many terrible things.

I spent two tours in Viet Nam as a Navy nurse. I saw many terrible things.

Looking at these pictures have left me with frustrated tears of deep moral outrage. The same thing happens to me when I read of the gang rape of innocent young girls which have been ordered by tribal elders and religious leaders. Or the mutilation of young girls so they will never enjoy sex. Or any of the dozens of other atrocities these people commit in the name of religion.

At least in the wake of war, and in the middle of war itself, one expects to see terrible things; that is the awful nature of war. But nothing can ever excuse what goes on in Muslim culture.
