This is your SF JAG speaking.
- JAG's belong in the TOC.
- They are the commander's immediate source of battlefield law.
- They don't make the shoot-don't shoot decision, the commander does.
- And any good commander will have no problem whatsoever making that clear to his JAG staff if they don't know it.
This looks to me like a C.A.R.V.E. evaluation was made, and probably with the knowledge that a Pred can't carry what was really needed (a few PGM's in the 500 - 1,000 lb class) a COMMANDER, not a JAG, made the decision to hold fire. And later he could release the photo and maybe score some propaganda points.
