First, thanks for preserving the honor of the U.S. military and the country as a whole. We need more soldiers like you.
That being said, and noting that I am to be deployed next year, I want to know what is the best way to go about reporting such an incident, if I witness one.
Who should you tell first? Lowest ranking superior (that was not involved, of course). Chaplain? Someone outside the unit? First Sergeant?
Also, what you said about not demonizing the enemy, or those who commit atrocious acts, really makes sense to me. It makes others perceive you as grandstanding to demonstrate moral superiority, which makes you a target.
Thanks again. BTW: a major motivation for my enlistment was to be the man strong enough to do something like what you have done. I know you don't want to hear it, but you are my hero.
Also, this is a throwaway account, for obvious reasons
