As a former Marine myself, this young "Leather" was doing what he was trained to do,
Shooting a wounded person?
Well...let's see...if there is a law against shooting wounded people in combat, then most of our Marines involved in this battle shouldn't be fired on. I am sure they all have cuts and bruises that would warrant them Purple Hearts if they were John Kerry. You weren't there, you don't know what type of weapon this terrorist did or didn't have, don't condemn this Marine without knowing the facts yet. I am still reserving my final opinion on this but from the information being reported, if he is found to be guilty of any wrong doing, he will be sent to the Naval Hospital on Camp Pendleton for combat fatigue.
Just my opinion of course.
