You know, Chewie, I don't consider it very "adult." Egregiously wrong, yes, but for "adults" I hold a standard of thoughtful review of one's actions. This stuff, these pictures, remind me more of high school locker room hazing and college (uni for you foreigners) frat hazing. Maybe I'm too idealistic on this point. I do realize adult hazing rituals do exist, and I'll point to organized crime gangs in the US and Russian army practices after the fall during the 90's as evidence -- however, I think that those are also "juvenile" acts, whether or not they were committed by adults. I will also point to the relative age of many of the MP's -- 20 to 25 year olds are still quite "juvenile" in my mind (I know I was then).
Regardless, they should be punished, as should anyone who caused or contributed to these acts (but I note that I want proof, not conjecture or scape-goat-ism). On that, I think we can agree.
