So you think he shouldn't be tried for murder if it is known that he intentionally killed a non-threatening wounded prisoner? I have to disagree. I found the incident to be unsettling. I recognize, of course, that stuff like this happens at war -- human lives get devalued. Happens in every war, I guess. At any rate, I suspect the individual will be tried and convicted. It is difficult for me to see what the circumstances might have been that would have made it appropriate; however, I don't really know to what extent soldiers are required to risk their own lives to take these people prisoner rather than killing them. If he thought his life may be threatened, killing the guy would certainly seem appropriate even thought it looked pretty arbitrary. Of course, I don't even know whether the guy was alive to begin with.
