It is incorrect to make categorical statements about the honesty, morality, or any other characteristic of a *group* of people. Remember Mai Lai in Vietnam? The serviceman in Iraq that tossed a grenade into his colleagues tent and murdered some of them? There will also be individuals that are cruel, indifferent to suffering, too quick to shoot, etc. This can include persons of any rank. It is a significant problem that "war" is used as an excuse for all sorts of despicable acts. I don't care what justification they - or you - manufacture after the fact: it was possible and they should have captured the brothers alive.
