There are two videos linked on this thread. The Reuters video shows nothing but the gun fight then one of our guys shooting down an alley and saying "He's done".

The other video has more footage of the same incident:

There's the gunfight and interview of our soldier. At around 1:20 in one of our guys says "he's wounded in between these two houses". After this is the part where our guy shoots down the alley and says, "He's done".

I fail to see the outrage from this.

To my ears, he's not saying "he's done". He's saying "he's gone". From the demeanor of the soldier, it is almost strikingly obvious that the insurgent either LEFT, or was already dead.

The shot he fired is done in a somewhat random fashion, almost like he's firing a parting shot or perhaps a warning shot or something.

I've seen this video several times before this and not once has it even occured to me that the soldier was even really shooting at something in particular.
