HOBART, IN (CBS 2) A commander accused of abusing her troops in Iraq is speaking out in her own defense for the first time. Captain Tamika Seaberry and her company returned from Iraq to Hobart, Indiana after almost a year on the battlefront.

We heard from soldiers' family members about alleged mistreatment towards the men and women overseas. Now, we're hearing firsthand, from the soldiers themselves, and the commander at the center of the controversy.

It was November 22nd, a joyous homecoming marred by moments of intense scrutiny.

"He suffered a lot, you know, under this lady,” said Leticia Zimmer, “so I hope that she gets what's coming to her."

Family members wore stickers saying, "Seaberry must go."

1. We will hear more and more

stories of suply problems and discipline, whether the Captain
was justified or not in treatment the part that is significant
is how badly prepared our logistics were.

2. Thomasina Syndrome?

Hmmmmm... I thought Tamika sounded like an African American name, and the photo in the article you linked to seems to confirm it. I wonder if this might be another example of a victim of racism getting back at whitey? There are many principals in Seattle's public schools who could take Tamika's place.
