Comon GS.
Watching a video from your monitor in the safety of your house is a lot different than having to make a split second decision, with your life on the line.
so the question is, if you knew that wounded insurgents were boobie trapping themselves AND you are in a situation with a buddy screaming that something is wrong..... what would you do?
Personally, I would shoot first and ask questions later and I think that if this soldier is hung out to dry, we are screwing the rest of our troops big time.
This bullshiat, from armchair warriors, about needing to keep the prestine moral high ground at all costs is unrealistic. Why don't you put yourself in that position and take a good hard look at how much time YOU would take making sure that insurgent (terrorist) isn't gonna blow you and your buddies to hell.
