The "insurgents" are terrorists and therefore not bound by the Geneva Conventions.
Meanwhile American troops will always be held to an impossible standard because the liberal media LOATHES the military.
It makes me puke to see the MSM call these sub-human devils "insurgents"!

Based on what we know so far, I think the Marine did the right thing, BUT...
It is incorrect to state that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to a non-signatory (the "insurgents"). Since the U.S. is a signatory, the GC's bind us to observe them during a conflict with a non-signatory.
However, it can be reasonably argued that there are other reasons the GC does not apply to these illegal combatants.
