Discipline is a very difficult thing for an army to maintain when morale is low. I always thought that had a lot to do with what happened at Abu Ghraib. It wasn't that the staff there were carrying out the will of the military. Instead they were bored reservists, taking out their frustrations on the powerless.
It is getting hard for me now to believe that it wasn't systematic. Another two prisons indulged in torturing prisoners. The sexual edge was not there at these locations, but the dogpiles were. Beatings came into it at these places too.
