I thought there was some Geneva Convention restriction on shooting someone who is incapacitated? 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. (watching more of the video, they do this several times, that's pretty sick)
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]
Yes and no. To clarify, a combatant is free game until you have cleared through. So if you shoot a guy, so long as he's still in front of you, you can drop 3 more mags into him, hit him with a tomahawk, then stab him with a bayonet and it's fine. The moment you pass him, however, it becomes a war crime. That rule somewhat applies to aircraft, but since the Geneva Convention is outdated, it's sketchy. But, as is a loophole, they can simply claim he was still posing a threat and he's free game. Not to mention it's a bit of a mercy kill/protecting our asses. Tali is known to hide grenades under their bodies or make a last futile attempt to shoot forces as they come through.
