I get furios when we hear of soldiers being arrested for 'murder' of an insurgent in an act of war. for failing to do his duty, we should be giving the guy a medal for shooting an 'enemy'

IF an enemy walked in the streets of London and killed someone in the street, and someone killed that person to try and save that person from dying - would he be charged with murder as well.
he will be out in about three years - do the sentence in open prison - and you just emerge good at table tennis - he won't be mistreated
