38. hexola, all of the answers to your questions are contained in...
... this New Yorker article, which others in this thread have urged you to read. Have you read it yet?

http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?040510fa_fact

Everyone really needs to read this story, and the mainstream media needs to start reporting the truth about Abu Ghraib: those photos do not represent the acts of a few; those photos do not represent an isolated incident, as we are being told.

Those photos represent a complete failure of the Army to instill honor and values in its soldiers. Those photos represent the result of what soldiers were instructed to do by their commanding officers, and worse, private contractors.

It's worse, really, than we could have even imagined after seeing the photos for the first time. It's far worse.

That article was truly difficult to get through. I'm really starting to think like matcom... LEAD ME TO THE FENCE, TOO.

Sadly, hexola, I must also say that these words of yours represent one of the most difficult things I've ever read at DU:

The guy recieving the blow job appears to be enjoying it.

I'd go on and on, but Tinoire covered it well. :-(
