For that reason is exactly why I argue that his first priority is to be simultaneously a leader and a follower.

His actions may encourage many more soldiers to issue their version of "justice" on detainees.

Soldiers save lives by winning battles and killing enemy. EPWs and detainees are of the enemy, but they are no longer "the enemy" once they are under our control. The difference is plain as day to those who are willing to know the techniques and conduct of a professional soldier.
