It doesn't work like that.
If you rape a woman she will usually get a trauma even though the physical pain may be negligible.
Now your comparing spanking to rape in terms of psychological trauma?
Please. Just stop. The two simply arent comparable in any way, shape or form. I never ever got a spanking (or gave one) without absolutely knowing wth I was getting one for. I knew I did wrong, and this was the ramification of my own behavior. I never, ever, EVER held it against someone (teacher or parent) that spanked me for the simple reason I never got a spanking I didnt deserve.
Thats not to say some kids do get spankings they dont deserve. Of course they do. But in those cases, those are parents that are 'doing it wrong', not because spanking is wrong.
Then what was the implication you were going for in even equating spanking with a soldier at gitmo?
I mean really. If dont see how you can deny what you were implying there.
I know perfectly well what an illegal order is. What is your point?
My point is you cant assume what anonymous soldier X at Gitmo is going to do in the face of an illegal order, and in fact the odds simply arent that they would torture some inmate like that. The vast, vast majority of guards conduct themselves in a completely professional manner, and while misconduct by a soldier is a possibility, the vast probability is that they will act professionally and not the way you allege.
I claim that many people will commit horrible crimes when they get a direct order to do so, no matter if the order is illegal.
And while I fully acknowledge that some few might, I dispute your claim of 'many'. Real facts just dont back that up, and generally people that think every soldier is a criminal base this perception by what they see on the evening news and nothing more.
And it seems reasonable to believe that if they were, as a child, taught by force to obey, they are much more vulnerable to such kind of behaviour.
I dont see that as reasonable at all. In fact, I find it ridiculous.
