I'm not suggesting we lower ourselves to their standards, but that we require them to rise to ours before acceding to their demands. Discipline the soldiers, by all means, quietly and anonymously. But don't kowtow to the Taliban by releasing their names.

And also remember the precedents you might set. Want to get sent home? Just piss on a dead Afghani!
