I seem to remember something from my military days about the geneva conventions.

I seem to remember that they were pretty clear about the fact that you are not supposed to shoot the wounded.

It seems to me that if a tape like that surfaced where some Republican Guards shot a US GI and then said, "he's wounded, get him," and killed the wounded American, there might be just a bit of outrage circulating on this board about the "savagery of the terrorists."

If one wants to claim one has the moral highground, then I think one has to be pretty meticulous about following the "Rules" of war--even if that is an oxymoron.

If one reads Ambrose, one finds all sorts of incidents discussed where German and American GIs didn't shoot wounded, didn't shoot medics, etc.

Yes, you'll see it was a reply to your post with the link. Wasn't there one version of this video in which one of the guys said at the end, "Oh, dude!"?
