Yet another...but not a General.

From the NY Daily News story about "Camp Crazy":

"Deanna Allen, a 19-year-old prison guard with the 105th MP Battalion, smiled and lifted her T-shirt. Photos show a man standing close to her and leering at her breasts while another G.I. snaps pictures.

"From what I understand they dared her to do it," said Allen's grandmother, Luci Tomlin, in Black Mountain, N.C. "It was a loose moment. She is a strong-headed young lady. Sometimes she can be a little irrational."

Sorry Ms. Tomlin, but your grandaughter is an asshole. There is no other explanation for her behavior, given that she's supposed to be a highly trained member of the United States Armed Forces in Iraq to defend us against unspeakable tyranny and to promote democracy among the Iraquis. Showing your tits to other people while mud wrestling is not something one is trained to do as a prison guard.

Even on a dare. In the cultural sensitivity department, those people she's supposed to be liberating would find that behavior pretty offensive. But hey, she's a real 'merican from down south, right?

Who knows, on a dare she might be photographed with naked prisoners stacked in a pile simulating sex with each other or holding one by a leash. It's been known to happen.
