If you are correct, he petions for an immediate policy change is in order. He has done what any sane man would do & the policy is wrong-if we are willing to expose our troops to such acts. It may entail flushing the Geneva Conventions & we may be forced to rely upon fear of retaliation to protect out troops when they are captured. We would need to demonstrate that policy. I think it may be a proper path-but i am only a common citizen with no legal experience-not to mention international law.

If a policy change went into effect immediately would that change the fact that LTC West still violated UCMJ? Would that make it ok?
