I'd bet anything that these guys were senior Taliban or al-Qaeda.

The officer in charge sounds as if he's saying "don't let him escape" (at around 5:30) in respect to the fellow running away below. Is that SOP for foot soldiers?

Once the firefight has commenced...
There is no "Ollie ollie run home free".
Enemy in sight and within range - running toward or away - is fired upon.
If out of range -- pursued with caution and re-engaged...
The whole point is to kill the enemy...Not win points for manners at the Harvard debating society...
Semper Fi
