And, the 'high command' to a general or command officer is going to do what is politically expedient to safe his/her career.
Now, the troops are going to undergo sensitivity training.
I wonder is Patton, Pershing, Grant or Sherman would order that. It is a sad state of affairs.
Plus, Bush is wimping out trying to be compassionate. HA!
Patton supressed the fact that GIs lined up and executed over 200 German soldiers and medical personnel at a camp just outside one of the infamous concentration camps - most of whom had nothing to do with what had been going on there (the guards at the camp, some 30 or so were shot separately) ... eventually there were a couple of courts-martial but the thing was basically swept-under the rug; so this kind of stuff has happened before, and our enforcement has been spotty - certainly few people were willing to give the Germans any mercy given what had happened....
