How do you know that the prisoner was compliant when he was captured? How do you know that he wasn't trying to shout out and warn his fellow terrorists to his capture. Seal teams operate small units. So maybe they gave him a good shot in the mouth to shut him up. Irregardless you were not there and you are going off of information released by the state run media and their hopes are they will fuel enough outrage to call for their heads. The American people are wise to the ways of you commies.
In response to your wishing they would of shot him on sight. That should be the norm when you are fighting a bunch of barbaric animals. But your double standards reflects your political correctness whereas you call for their punishment for a shot in the mouth as oppose to wishing they would of just shot him. Had they shot him, you and your fellow commies would be screaming for the seals to be tried for cold bloodied murder.
I don't know, but that must be the claim if charges are being made.

No need to get nasty. There would be no question had they shot him during an engagement instead of capturing him. One more dead insurgent, yippie. They would be in very serious trouble had they shot him while in custody.
I'll state it simply: Rules of engagement no longer apply once an enemy is captured. After that, long-standing regulations concerning the handling of enemy prisoners go into effect. Those regulations state, as I've shown, that prisoners are to be protected from harm. The regulations are unambiguous, and they do not make allowance for personal feelings of anger over what the enemy's done.
