There's a guy completely down just trying to pull himself forward with one arm, then rata-tat-tat they unload on him. At another point they unload on someone completely motionless. It was basically an execution. And I don't give a -blam!- if they don't play fair either. We're America. We're supposed to adhere to a higher code. [/quote]There is but it's not really as strangling as many think. it's a bit different when a helicopter strafes a target...it's not an execution....the crew isn't screwing with them...and say that crawling guy makes it to a weapons cache and snags a rocket...then what...it's a whole lot better just to kill them right there then have it come back and bite you in the ass. [/quote] Ok... shooting the guy crawling I can see the justification there, you could argue he could be moving towards his gun or another weapon to return fire. Shooting someone completely immobile on the ground though... that's an execution. I can't think of any other word to describe it. You're killing someone not presenting any threat to you. [/quote] The Convention does not apply to those who do not A. Follow it or B. Have not signed it. In this case, the insurgents have done neither.
