You have placed faith in the unsupported assumption that there was an imminent danger to his troops. More factually there was a threat but likely no more than they regularly deal with and probably not quite as imminent it has been made to sound.

WMD placed among a civilian populace is not even in the same category, so the comparison doesn't hold water.

Oh, but it does (WMD)... the question is, what would you not do, to save the souls of those who are in your care when it is in your power to do? Whether it is a city or a platoon...

The question of eminence can be argued, but as we know, ownce you come face to face with eminent danger, the implication is, what recourse is left to you, if any, to avert destruction?
