If you think the chopper footage was bad, think again.
I just found another similar incident footage, from ground troops shooting a downed iraqi and then cheer like they scored a touchdown.
This is getting better by the minute!

@Genius:
Sorry, made a search on that Haager Landkriesnordlung thing and turn up empty. Either you mispelled it, or it doesnīt exist on the web. If you know about it, how about posting a link, like you were asked?
Btw, regarding the treatment of enemy combatants, woundeds, POWs and all that, check
THE UNITED STATES ARMY FIELD MANUAL
The Law of Land Warfare, 1956
2.
Purposes of the Law of War
The conduct of armed hostilities on land is regulated by the law of land warfare which is both written and unwritten. It is inspired by the desire to diminish the evils of war by:
a.Protecting both combatants and non-combatants from unnecessary suffering;
b.Safeguarding certain fundamental human rights of persons who fall into the hands of the enemy, particularly prisoners of war, the wounded and sick, and civilians; and
c.Facilitating the restoration of peace....
3.Basic Principles
a. Prohibitory Effect. The law of war places limits on the exercise of a belligerent's power in the interests mentioned in paragraph 2 and requires that belligerents refrain from employing any kind or degree of violence which is not actually necessary for military purposes and that they conduct hostilities with regard for the principles of humanity and chivalry.

It turns out i was not naive at all, like some said i was, when i said war should be civil and fought with decency and chivalry. Infact, the real naive ones here are those who believe there is nothing we can do to change the status quo.
