Army 1st Lt. Michael Behenna stood over him in the grainy darkness, his Glock pistol racked and pointed down at him.

"If you don't talk, I will kill you," Behenna said.
A couple of observations/questions. (I am not in the Army, but my spouse is.)

When did regular 101st folks decide it is okay to interrogate anyone?

When did the Army start issuing their members Glocks?

Since when is it okay to interrogate anyone by pointing a gun at their head and threatening to kill them?

I am not taking sides, I just want to know what some of you think about these things.

Iraq was never lost and Afghanistan was never quite the easy good war. Those in the media too often pile on and follow the polls rather than offer independent analysis. Campaign rhetoric and politics are one thing - the responsibility of governance is quite another.
