Twenty-eight US soldiers face various charges ranging from involuntary manslaughter to conspiracy in the deaths of two prisoners in Afghanistan two yearsago, the US Army announced Thursday.
One of the soldiers, a military police reservist, has already been charged in connection the deaths. Commanders of the other 27 "will consider the full range of appropriate administrative and disciplinary measures from taking no action to recommending trial by court-martial," the Army said.
The announcement came after a 22-month investigation into the two deaths. Both prisoners, one died on Dec. 4 and the other Dec. 10, 2002, suffered "blunt force injuries," according to the Army. Military medical examiners classified their deaths as homicides.

Hey, I thought there were only seven bad apples. I'm sure that's what Dear Leader said.
That's twenty-eight fine Americans in just two cases. I don't know why they would hate us. I guess they're just bad people.
