You are correct, for Americans neutralizing the enemy means killing them. The individual in this clip made the choices that he made and that's why he was where he was and ended up dead.
You can not throw up by saying that Iraqi was there. At first place Marines did not have any business to be in Iraq. He was helpless and instead of getting any medical attention, all he got was another bullet from some stupid trigger-happy marines.
> He decided to take up arms against the Marines, did he think they were Not going to kill him? Were this a civilian I would be completely appauled but it's not.
And how do you know that? Unless you have seen a complete film, I will agree with you, but talking about the only clip available, it does not show any bravery of Marines.
>As far as soldiers killing not being practical, well that's what they are trained to do, that's why they are called Soldiers and not Policemen. Perhaps in your country the military doesn't kill amred bandits that shoot at them?
Not in my country and not even in any other civilized nation where human life and sentimental bond is considered of any good value. India is full of problems when it comes to terrorism. Pakistan has problems in its northwest frontiers. But nowhere do they go and shoot or blast the whole area. They try to take out only the opposition soldier and once injured, what better then to take him as a prisoner? Killing a already disabled person is more of a crime then a simple shooting. And I wonder how do you justify that when you stop thinking like an american but a human being.
>I do agree that it is in poor taste to show POW's of any nationallity on TV.
Still American Media did it.
Well perhaps, then why so hue and cry when dead american soldiers were dragged on the roads by somalis?
Somalia has nothing to do with Iraq, and your statement makes no sense at all.
It has to do with ethics, wherever in the world there is a war.
>Really? Interesting to say the least. I'm going to the UK and France in June, and I'm not the least bit worried. Americans are envied by many, and therefore loathed as well. Iraq hasn't changed this one way or the other.
It has fueled more opposition for US regardless.
>And yeah the bravery comment you made is indeed ignorant, to say the least and shows how very little you actually know about Bravery, the Military and fighting wars.
I know about being a human and sticking to the ethics of humans and not animals.
