Marines A,B & C could have turned away, only to see a grenade roll by.

That i think is the discussion to be had ,it is perfectly feasible for a wounded insurgent to have explosives on him to be detonated in the hospital while we are playing fair and patching him up .I think the notion of fair play in war with Afghan insurgents is quite ridiculous because i have no doubt that should we decide to start parachuting men in they would make no bones of shooting them before they land ,so should the rules of war apply when one side doesn't recognise them .
