Have you even read what people have posted here? Have you ever been in a 'hard or tense' situation? Have you ever been in a place where doing your job could get you killed? It's kind of sad that you to sit back here and go on about honor, sacrifice, and values when you have no conception of what these soldiers live with every day. Would you stick to your ideals if they would get you killed? I doubt it.
Understand the situation: These people have
stoned you. You have caught some of them. There is no functional civilian authority, and your unit does not have the resources to replicate the civilian authorities - you cannot detain these kids. If you let them go scot free, word of your inaction will spread among the insurgents, and you will be attacked, in all likelyhood with deadly results. These are the facts of the situation...ask anyone posting here who as been there.
Now, what are you going to do?
