If you believe your armed forces should follow rules in war, and consider them morally superior to their enemy for doing so, then I feel like you have to agree the sentence was justified. I'm really only posting this for how dramatic the execution was. [quote] Blackman shot the injured captive in the chest at close range with a 9mm pistol before quoting a phrase from Hamlet as the Afghan died before him. He told the insurgent: “Shuffle off this mortal coil, you c***. It’s nothing you wouldn’t do to us.” Blackman, whose identity was revealed two days ago, then turned to two comrades and said: “Obviously this doesn’t go anywhere, fellas. I just broke the Geneva Convention.” [/quote]. -blam!-ing Shakespeare man.
