Rules of engagement shouldn't apply outright in a situation in Afghanistan. I completely disagree with helping an injured insurgent whom will likely attempt to kill you at any given moment. The taliban and afghan insurgents alike are constantly beheading innocents. A quick bullet death is more than they deserve. The law is the law though. My opinion means nothing when faced against it.

He'll be made an example of.
That's the trouble ,as much as i might agree that the insurgents need a bullet in the head we cannot pick and choose which rules to obey ,after all we helped make them .We can however choose the punishment and i can't in all honesty think that this soldier should be treated the same as a ******* who kills a old lady for her handbag or murders a child
