the man was un-armed, he was on the ground, he didnt have to kill him.

Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts (Protocol I), 8 June 1977.Art 37. Prohibition of Perfidy 1. It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary or resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy: (a) the feigning of an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce or of a surrender; (b) the feigning of an incapacitation by wounds or sickness; (c) the feigning of civilian, non-combatant status; and (d) the feigning of protected status by the use of signs, emblems or uniforms of the United Nations or of neutral or other States not Parties to the conflict.
Yes. You do give the terrorists a pass. When you say dribble like: "The US marine shot and killled this man for the fun of it. All the marines present knew this man was no threat to them."How do you know this?
I've shown you many instances of terrorists who played themselves off as "no threat" and then killed marines.
It's funny to me that the Military investigated this, and didn't press charges. Somehow, from the limited video you've seen, you can come to the conclusion that this guy is a cold blooded killer who kills "for fun"
Have you even bothered to watch the video? How do I know this? Anyone that watches the tape realizes that guy was no threat and the marine killed him for the hell of it. Speaking the truth has nothing to do with giving terrorists a pass. Your reliance on republican talking points is pathetic.
Those other situations have nothing to do with this one. If you watch the video you can clearly see the marine killed the man for the hell of it. That was why this reporter made a big deal about it in the first place. He was shocked and appalled and rightly so. These type of actions do nothing to advance our cause or help us win the war on terror. They do exactly the opposite. They enrage the enemy and endanger the welfare of our troops and of the American public.
And we all know we always end up with honest conclusions when one group is both judge, jury, and defendent.
it's not really worth it
