LTC West is either (intentionally) leaving out information, or is tactically incompetent.

Again to save your argument you have shifted to argument to new grounds and thrown out a bunch of insupportable slander. YOU as an intelligence clerk have no business charging a decorated combat officer and one whose men are very much alive today because of his actions, it would seem, with tactical incompetence. YOU have no qualifications to make that judgment and for you to put forward a charge like this that even his combat commander has not made is the lowest form of slander and disrespect that I can imagine. Likewise, LTC West has not been charged with lying by his combat commander.

The charge as we all know failure to obey regulations regarding the treatment of a prisoner. That is the charge before the court and not some other charges that you have cooked up in your own perfervid imagination.

What would LTC West have done if he had information of an impending ambush, but no prisoner to interrogate? The answer is exactly what he should have done if the prisoner did not give him information. His failure to tactically adjust to the situation is exactly why I said he may be tactically incompetent, or he is not publicly telling the full story.

I never said LTC West should be charged with lying, I mean that the only public information on the subject comes from him and his lawyer. The CG certainly has all the information and the SJA cannot make that info public. But you already knew that.
