; 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.

My understanding is that he was an unarmed wounded prisoner. But apparently he was taken prisoner in a rather hasty way and was perhaps not fully secured. If the insurgent was still effectively a prisoner, and unarmed and severely wounded to boot than it probably was murder. If however, the story was reported incorrectly and the insurgent effectively was not a prisoner than I'm not sure the marine did anything wrong.
