Of course it's just as bad. The whole sordid affair is an embarrassment to the entire US Armed Forces.
My point here is not to defend or excuse the posting and sharing of these pics and videos. My point is that a) the sex video making and nude pic taking shouldn't be occurring to begin with, at least not on as large a scale as it is and b) the authorities and the media shouldn't be concentrating solely on the soldiers who publicly shared them, but ALSO on the soldiers, women and men alike, who are posing for the pics and participating in making the videos as well.
They are ignoring the source of the problem while focusing on the result of it.
