Dramatize the event if you need to, but there is a clear distinction between rules of conduct while in battle, and once you have captured them.

Activities conducted in the theater of operations (i.e., Baghdad), still count as battlefield activities.

It's not a matter of dramatizing anything.

This isn't a police interrogation room where you drag a perp in, Mirandize him and begin to question him until he calls for a lawyer.

Battlefield commanders conduct operations not interrogations. Interrogations are information related activities for support of battlefield operations. Combat is combat, combat support is combat support. They are not and never will be one in the same.

It simply suits you belief to blur those lines but that doesn't make it so.

Maybe we could just drive through Baghdad and shoot everything that moves, hey, it's a battlefield right?
