Now that the discussions has gone far enough, I shall leave the sarcasm aside. (well, that one short post)
War is war. In the combat zone, if you grab á weapon, get a sucky wound and get killed by the enemy coming in to check the house.. too bad. Should of thought twice before doing so.
In an actual war, where there isn't a clear advantage over the enemy, it simply isn't possible to drag along prisoners you might find on the way. So what do you do? Shoot them of course. You don't want the prisoners to grab a gun and shoot half of your team, while trying to accomplish your mission, with no capability to look after the prisoners.
Once again, the enemy should of thought better... either to try and defend to death or pull back and surrender when possible (rather surrender before, when it would also be possible).
Especially the insurgents are hard to determine, whether they're going to blow up half your team, when given the chance, or not.
They're either frozen by fear and ****ted their pants or waiting to cook off a grenade.
But this case... didn't the american soldiers already learn? DO NOT DO IT WHEN THERE ARE CAMERAS FOLLOWING YOU, IDIOT.
Now good part of the muslim world is seeing nothing but the videos and news broadcasts of the evil american soldiers, who will rape and kill their allah fearing children.
Great stuff.. that soldier must been a real handsomehunk. Well, now hes likely ruined his own life (unless saved by the US govt.) and made some of the terrorist bosses happy of the free propaganda.
