[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2451009, member: 8377"] By all accounts Lt. Behenna took a decision understanding that it was contrary to his orders and against the laws of land warfare. It was the LT's responsibility to set the example for his troops to follow and he failed to do that. For that crime he has been punished. Now, as to why he did what he did and whether or not it was justified will depend on what each person thinks is an acceptable sacrifice to protect their brothers. Since we can never know if the detainee's continued aggression after being released would have transpired, we dont know if the mans death saved American or coalition lives. However, it is foolish to think it would not have. I suspect that if he were asked today if it was worth it, he would answer yes. As would I. [/QUOTE]
