I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I think that. I only meant to point out that MP's receive more POW-specific instruction than regular enlisted folks, so I wonder why people focus more attention on the fact that they were reservists than the fact that they were MP's. I agree that any soldier should have known that such behavior was unacceptable, but I think MP's in particular.
FWIW I do know what a grunt is and what RA means, I used to be an enlisted man in the regular Army. But I apologize for my careless phrasing and I appreciate your precision.
