I have no quarrel with that, but the reality is that the order of priority is (1)the mission and (2)the men. We can't stop the mission to care for our own wounded, certainly not his. Also it isn't really a good idea to leave wounded and armed enemy behind our troops as we move through an area.
I am against unrealistic punishment for military personnel acting on their best judgment in a combat situation.

With all due respect sir, we care for the wounded DURING the Op, and in some cases afterwards. This man was wounded and un-armed, (no we dont leave armed enemy on the battle field) and missing a rathter large portion of his skull at that. He wasnt going any where or gonna cause anyone harm. I bet you think Lt Pantano should get a pass too?
