No of course they shouldn't. We're still not going to go around beheading people though. Remember who these people are. They deserve to be shot when down. Preferably with the end of a .50cal barrel. You're in a country where it's impossible to separate the innocents and insurgents. Otherwise we could evacuate the innocents and just level the place.
We're fighting people that strap bombs to children to approach troops. Imagine how that feels to have to potentially gun down a child. We have to remove bombs from a suicide bomber who's either had a change of heart or has malfunctioning equipment. The whole war is a joke.
