I agree... These insurgents do not fight fair... This one could have had a bomb strapped to himself... You have to fight as dirty as the other guy to win anyways...

No, you have to adopt tactics that counter dirty tactics...it doesn't mean you have to fight as dirty as they. Just because running barefoot in black pajamas can be effective for a peasant force doesn't mean we should so equip our troops, and the same is for these dirty tricks.

That doesn't mean we should ignore the dirty tricks and fight as if they aren't occurring, but we must counter them, not focus on adopting them. I'm sure you'd agree, but I think it needs to be clarified and stated.

"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
