No Sir!
This was combat and, as the SAS soldiers says, it is a place filled with emotions that most modern human never will experience. This combat is especially intense since the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)used by the enemy do not conform to the law of land warfare and ours do. Because of the way the terrorist fight our young men (and now women in some circumstances) will always be "pushing the edge of the envelope" regarding our TTPs in order to protect themselves and, most of all, their comrades. The lives of all the terrorist in Falluja are not worth the life of one of those Marines or soldiers fighting there. As a rule we will not "murder" anyone but under the circumstances we will kill anyone who presents a perceived threat... including wounded terrorists who are seeking martyrdom.
