Here's a good story on Lynndie England, the girl at the center of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal:

Lynndie England, 21, a rail worker's daughter, comes from a trailer park in Fort Ashby, West Virginia, which locals proudly call 'a backwoods world'.
She faces a court martial, but at home she is toasted as a hero.
At the dingy Corner Club Saloon they think she has done nothing wrong.
'A lot of people here think they ought to just blow up the whole of Iraq,' Colleen Kesner said.
'To the country boys here, if you're a different nationality, a different race, you're sub-human. That's the way girls like Lynndie are raised.
'Tormenting Iraqis, in her mind, would be no different from shooting a turkey. Every season here you're hunting something. Over there, they're hunting Iraqis.'
In Fort Ashby, in the isolated Appalachian mountains 260km west of Washington, the poor, barely-educated and almost all-white population talk openly about an active Ku Klux Klan presence.
