You back up your buddies when you're in the field, in the gym, on the street, and most everywhere else. However you don't back someone up when they execute a wounded prisoner. You don't blindly back up your buddies regardless of what they do.

the difference is that I bet you didnt have fucking reporters imbedded with your group when you were sweating and bleeding with the marines asking you your opinion of what just went down in a hostile situation.
You would have been the one quoted as saying it was a violation of the genevea convention and it was wrong?
Or would you have preferred to deal with it internally without it unfolding before the entire world?
