I'm reading a cacaphony of justifications
for the soldiers' actions with the coke bottles. The most common is that it's an isolated incident. Of course it is, if you only look for wide spread occurances of coke bottle-over-the-head-smashing. It cannot be denied anymore that abuses as a category (not the limited categories of pantie-head-placing, waterboarding, sleep depravation and the aforementioned coke bottle-over-the-head-smashing) are rampant. But I guess that's ok as long as you mix it up to keep it fresh.
