Personally, I think that guy was hit the first time, and I think that had they left him alone at that point he would have suffered a long, hard, excruciatingly painful death, alone out there. I think they actually did him a huge favor by administering the swift coup de grace as they did.

I assume then you have no problems whatsoever with it?
Would it be ok for the iraqis to shoot Private Ryan then? She was wounded, but she would be treated and go back into the fighting. Would it be legitime for the iraqisd to shoot her where she stood, and all the other wounded POWs?
I only say this, because people seem to have conflicting opinions, depending on wich side of the fence they stand. If itīs one of theirs getting the "coup de gras", itīs ok by them. But when itīs one of yours, itīs a warcrime...
Go figure.
Btw, nice link there. Good stuff.
