I don't play fair in combat either. This isn't about fair play.

If it's ok to threaten to kill a prisoner for information would it be ok to rape his wife to make him talk? I know you wouldn't agree with that because it crosses the line. The line for this scenario was drawn long before LTC West even imagined being in the Army. LTC West crossed it, he knew he crossed it and now it's time to pay the piper.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Wouldn't it? If you had heard that there was a rocket attack planned today to bring down a helicopter full of American soldiers, you had a man in custody who knew the details of the plan and if you could get him to talk you could avert the attack and save, say, a dozen lives, what line would you stop at? If raping the man's wife would somehow make him talk, wouldn't you do it to save the lives of 12 of your men? Or even just 1 man's life?
