I agree with the shaming their code but I can't say I would blame them when dealing with people like this mass murderer. It would take a lot of restraint to treat a person like this with respect knowing he played a role in murdering many Americans.
While I do not condone this type of behavior by our men in uniform I have to say that if in fact his injuries were not that severe then it only goes to prove that he was clearly not beaten in a manner that would suggest abuse. However, with that said, our men in uniform are supposed to behave in a manner befitting their core values and those of the military. To do anything different shames their code, their service, and the branch for which they serve. Not to mention those who served so gallantly before them. Should they be court-martialed? Perhaps it's a little harsh. There are procedures known as NJP's, non-judicial punishments. Maybe this is what they should have endured? I believe that cour-martialing them over this particular matter is just a bit much, but they certainly shouldn't just "get away" with it either.
Although I feel that you are on the right side of this rivalry, I think you just exhibited some of the things you accused Liberals of being. I wouldn't want to get into name calling back and forth because that will lead to nothing productive.
I'm not sure if I'm taking this rivalry the right way, but I'm more inclined to think someone who would even ask this question has a mental illness. At some time or another, everyone is right, wrong or stupid.
