You talk about jumping to conclusions but are defending what appears to be a murder.
It's not Murder if the terrorist were faking dead and killing soldiers Tweety. It's self defense and he would have been within the ROE.
Now that is provided the insurgent moved. If he even flinched or moved a hair it is a justified shooting acording the Staff Judge Advocate who is investigating the incident.
When you decide to use your wounded as a ruse to attack then don't be surprised when all procautions are taken. What is sad is that you, Tweety, are proving just how effective this approach is for the terrorist. The US is damned if they do help the terrorist by loosing soldiers to terrorist commiting war crimes or damned if they don't by world opinion.
If the US fries this guy for erroring on the side of caution then the terrorist will win as well because US casualties will rise as the soldiers become afraid to shoot.
Where is the outrage and indignity over the Terrorist violating non-combatant status? It's not there, why?
Difference is the we will police are own. If he did violate the ROE then he will be punished.
Tweety why don't you raise your right hand, take the oath, and put yourself in a position to make a difference instead of yipping at the sidelines from a position of safety at those in the arena.
