They are only acting dishonourably if the investigation shows that the troops were acting out of some petty dislike of the relations with US troops... but if the investigation shows that there was something more behind the treatment of the snipers...

Now it is important to understand that in military culture snipers are not always accepted as one of the "boys" - their trade is viewed by some as too personal or intimate, a step above murder and not combat. Yes they are accepted as a great asset in the field, but not the guys you want to bunk with...
