I think the Colonel's behavior was right on, and a great solution to the problem. The only difference between how he handled it and how a Shiite militia commander would have handled it, is that the prisoner is still alive. He should get a commendation and be leading a seminar at West Point. WTF is wrong with the politically correct appeasers in his chain of command? It's ridiculous.
Times have changed. When I was in the army, our BC would regularly have us form up and kneel down while he prayed to God that we would kill our enemies in battle, and that was typical of 82nd commanders. Nowadays, when the idiot pastor in FL wanted to burn the Koran, which is totally his right as an American, Petraeus himself reached out and asked him not to. How about just killing the enemy, general? Ever since Vietnam, politicians have gotten the idea that our military is some super charity we dispatch to 'win hearts and minds' and make friends. That's not how we won ww2.
