I think I know a helluva a lot more than you do about these things, but I’ll let you play pretend because you have such little credibility on this thread.

And quit tap dancing. It's more than obvious you haven't seen a day of combat in your entire life.

Let's try it this way: Who here advocates soldiers disobeying orders and violating regulations by mistreating prisoners? Anyone? Anyone here read AR 190–8/ OPNAVINST 3461.6, especially Chapter 5-1.a.(3)?

"The CI will be especially protected against all acts of violence, insults, public curiosity, bodily injury, reprisals of any kind, sexual attack such as rape, forced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault."

I'll say it again. I don't give a damn about these insurgents. I care about the honor of our military and the good order within it, which includes obeying orders. IF the charges are true, it was probably quite satisfying to give him a smack, but that is irrelevant.
