It's a WAR - guns are going off all around. What next, special monitors to measure how far away every shot is? He didn't kill the hostage, didn't beat him, and in doing so saved American lives. Ltc. West should be commended!

War in case you didn't know is where soldiers do their work. In peacetime, it's all training to go to war. Why is it then ok to say the things we have learned, practiced, and preached be forgotten. If we wanted to do that we could just hire mercenaries to do our dirty work.
Either this country want's professional soldiers who follow orders, or we want a military that makes it's own rules and does what ever it wants. The UCMJ is there to prevent the latter from happening.

Oh, I forgot. You are right LTC West didn't beat him. He ordered his subordinates to do that. For which they got NJP and fines.
