I have never...never seen one soldier insult another based on a religious preference. It is both a hightened sence of respect for each other, and a respect for personal freedom.

So I said: "Real soldiers do not show that kind of disrespect."

This is all in relation to our subject, the Sgt who took other soldiers lives so he would not have to go into battle.

Your pic, is a entirly different situation. In fact, my opinion on that matter is simply: SOMEONE told them to do this. There was an order SOMEWHERE that was given to the guards at the prison.
I think it was a humiliation tactic by CIA/Interigation officers to attempt to force the captives to talk. Humiliation is a HUGE pressure point in their culture.
I seriously doubt that the soldiers took it upon themselves to arrange such elaborate pictures, and abuses.

I am not trying to justify his actions zen, only show you that soldiers aren't these perfect machines. We have no clue what went on with this guy, and to tell you the truth, in order for him to do what he did..... something very FUCKED up must have been happenning, All I know is, I would tell my commander to shove it if he told me to do such things.
