I can just imagine the outcry if the "dead" terrorist was left there only to attack and kill some marines an hour later.
Then the same marine would be in trouble for not doing his job by making sure the enemy was dead.
Very well put.

Bingo.
You are correct.
If this marine had not done what he did, others and maybe he also would be dead or injured. That would be an issue. This act that is being promoted as a wrong is actually normal warfare.
The MSM is, again, trying to make an issue where there is no issue.
What bothers me about this is that so many people do not understand the way that wars are fought. There are always 2 sides and both sides try to kill each other. Some are more ruthless than others. We have repeatedly seen the ruthlessness of the other side, yet we are given the impression that that is no big deal and that what we are doing is.
